Hosted by TV Presenter and Mind Ambassador Anna Williamson, this is Mind’s third annual Workplace Wellbeing Index, which is aimed at benchmarking best policy and practice and celebrating the good work employers are doing to promote and support positive mental health.

Tim Moss, CEO of the IPO, said:
“We believe in making the IPO a brilliant place to work. The wellbeing of our people, and their mental health in particular, is incredibly important to us and has been a significant priority this past year.

“Taking part in the index report has helped us evaluate the support we offer our colleagues, and has highlighted where we can do even better next year.”

Emma Mamo, Head of Workplace Wellbeing at Mind, said:

“Every employer depends on having a healthy and productive workforce – valued and supported employees are far more likely to deliver the best outcomes for your organisation. That’s why we’re delighted to recognise and celebrate employers making mental health a priority for their organisation through our Workplace Wellbeing Awards.

“This year, we’ve been overwhelmed to see so much good practice right across the board, from each and every one of the 106 diverse employers to take part. The Awards event provided an opportunity to recognise those forward-thinking employers who are at the cutting edge when it comes to investing in their staff wellbeing, and in turn getting the best outcomes for their business.”
