Get Ready for October 10th: World Mental Health Day at Work
World Mental Health Day is approaching on 10 October. It is a moment to pause, reflect and ask an important question: how is your workplace supporting mental wellbeing?
The workplace can be both a source of stress and a place of support. With the right wellness initiatives, businesses can create environments where employees feel valued, energised and cared for. That is not only good for people, it is also good for productivity, retention and culture.
Why mental health at work cannot be ignored
1 in 6 workers experience a mental health problem at any given time.
Stress, burnout and anxiety are leading causes of long-term sickness absence.
Businesses that invest in wellbeing see measurable returns: fewer absences, greater engagement, and improved retention.
Where employers can make a difference
Break the stigma: Talking openly about mental health helps create cultures of care.
Small gestures, big impact: From nail bars to chair massages, wellness activations can transform a stressful week into a more balanced one.
Proactive not reactive: Support should not wait until crisis point. Building in wellness touchpoints throughout the year prevents burnout.

A reminder for leaders
World Mental Health Day is not about ticking a box. It is a chance to reflect on how your workplace supports the people who keep it running. Wellness is not a perk, it is a pillar of sustainable success.
