This short article from the Institute of Directors (IoD) talks about steps you can take to ensure a positive working environment in your business.


The article can be found in the Need to Know section of the IoD’s mental health hub, where there is a wealth of good information and practical tools. The article talks broadly about what mental health is and sites a number of credible sources. It then goes on to explain that one of the most important things an organisation can do is to have an environment where conversation about mental health is encouraged. It is important that employees feel valued and that their opinions will not be judged.

There is also a handy infographic that highlights the negative effects of poor mental health on businesses. At the end of the article, some further reading on the topics discussed has been suggested.
