Mental health at work
Work is one of the strongest determinants of mental health, in both directions. Our work here is practical: reduce what is avoidably harmful in how the organisation operates, and make real support available to the people who need it.
The problem we are asked to solve
Wellbeing initiatives often sit alongside the organisation rather than inside it, and leave leaders without the skills the situation requires.
- Rising stress-related absence with no clear pattern of cause
- Managers who see someone struggling and do not know what to say
- Return-to-work after long-term sick leave handled badly
- Support offered as a benefit nobody uses
How we work
At three levels — the organisation, the leader, and the individual — because interventions at only one of them rarely hold.
Organisational level
Reviewing workload, clarity, autonomy and leadership practice: the conditions that produce strain in the first place.
Leader capability
Training managers to notice early signals, hold a supportive conversation, and know the boundary of their role.
Individual support
Confidential support and resilience work for people under sustained pressure, including structured return-to-work.
Crisis response
Rapid, trauma-informed support after a serious incident, loss or acute event affecting a workplace.
Who it is for
- HR and occupational health leaders building a coherent mental health approach
- Organisations in high-pressure or high-exposure sectors
- Managers responsible for people they are worried about
- Individuals in demanding roles carrying sustained strain
What changes
- Earlier intervention, before absence becomes long-term
- Managers who act with confidence instead of avoiding the conversation
- Support that people actually use because it feels safe to
- A workplace where struggling is not a career risk
