Why use the Mental Health & Wellbeing Checklist?

Today all employers have a legal duty of care to their employees. This means they should take all steps possible to protect their mental wellbeing and provide support when needed.

The checklist will help you track the progress your organisation has made ensure that employees have the correct support and policies to maintain good mental health. 

The checklist shouldn't be used once to test how your organisation has performed, it should be updated on a regular basis to include updates on the steps your organisation has taken.
