Tips for HR
- Run an awareness campaign throughout October — graphics, posters and posts with the message ‘Mental health isn’t a luxury, it’s essential.’
- October 10 is a great opportunity to introduce psychological support or remind people that it is already available to them.
- Pink October: remind people about preventive check-ups and check whether your health benefits include gynaecological examinations.
- Connect Halloween with mental health — asking ‘What really scares you at work?’ can be a gentle way to start a conversation about stress.
