Time to Talk Day falls on Thursday 2nd February 2023 and is a charity led initiative that aims to break the social stigma of speaking about our own mental health – whether that is at home or in the office.
With a recent survey finding that three out of four UK employees who returned to the office post-pandemic now wish to work remotely to save money amid the cost-of-living crisis1, it’s critical that employers and line managers have the necessary tools, resources, and mental health policies in place in order to support their staff and help remove stigmas.
Adrian Matthews, Head of Employee Benefits MetLife UK says: “Against the backdrop of the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, job security concerns and the dark winter months, Time to Talk Day is a timely reminder for us all to check in on our colleagues. Employers can use this opportunity to reconnect with teams and reappraise what emotional wellbeing support they are providing.”
Adrian shares tips to help employers and line managers better support their staff’s mental health this year onwards:
