This year, #WorldMentalHealthDay shone a light on the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. Over the past week, we worked with mental health advocate, Ryan Ridgway from Luminate, to help employees feel more confident in having mental health conversations. From helping understand the signs of poor mental health in someone to knowing how to initiate meaningful and supportive conversations, Ryan delivered powerful sessions to employees online and at our factory in Beckton, leaving many moved and inspired. Next month, Ryan will be speaking to employees at our Rugby and Leeds factories, to continue encouraging open and honest conversations in the workplace 💜
