World Mental Health Day | Past Positive Health and Wellbeing Chair, Juan Moore shares his thoughts | Oct 2024
15 October 2024
Thursday 10 October was World Mental Health Day with the theme being Mental Health in the Workplace. As with all awareness days, it is not about what you do on the day that matters but how you change and address the issues throughout the year.
If you missed it Juan Moore, the past chair of the Positive Health and Wellbeing Forum, spoke on Manx Radio about the importance of mental health in the workplace which you can find here.
Should you wish to learn more about wellbeing in the workplace Juan has launched an accreditation scheme for wellbeing in the workplace through Resolute Consultancy Limited. Juan can assist you from designing a wellbeing strategy through to accreditation. The scheme is designed for the needs of the Island and is based around good governance. Wellbeing forms an integral part of the S of ESG. Wellbeing is now essential for all workplaces. Job seekers, banks, clients and investors increasingly wish to know that organisations have good wellbeing policies in place. Accreditation is an essential part of providing independent confirmation of your efforts for others to see.
Chamber’s Board are fully supportive of the accreditation scheme that they believe will raise standards, increase productivity and help address some of the problems facing Manx Care through early intervention. The Positive Health and Wellbeing Forum are keen to promote wellbeing in the workplace with many businesses in the wellbeing sector able to assist organisations and staff with virtually all aspects of wellbeing.”
