Michael Smith Switchgear Ltd’s Post

Mental Health Awareness Week is drawing to a close. It's a good time to reflect on how we support our staff. We have 8 mental health first aiders -  our teams know who they are and how they can support them. It’s part of our commitment to looking after our people and they are integral to our culture. It’s important in any sector but particularly in manufacturing which ranks in the bottom 10% of UK industries for wellbeing. Our director Sean Smith said: “Looking after our colleagues’ wellbeing has always been high on our agenda. “Our mental health first aiders are a key part of that - from the shopfloor to the directors there is someone our team can go to. “Everyone needs someone to talk to at times, knowing that our MHFAs are there means that colleagues have instant access to someone trained to support them when they do.” #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
