A mentally healthy culture is built through daily practice

Workplace wellbeing is not just a campaign or a one-off workshop. It depends on leadership behaviour, workload, policies, communication, safety, and trusted access to support.

Culture-building actions

  • Train managers in supportive conversations and boundaries.
  • Review work-related stress risks and act on findings.
  • Make access routes to support clear and confidential.
  • Normalise reasonable adjustments where appropriate.
  • Use anonymous, aggregated feedback to understand themes.
  • Avoid asking employees to disclose unnecessary health details.

What good reporting looks like

Where reporting is provided to an employer, it should usually be anonymised and aggregated. Individual therapy or counselling content should not be shared with employers.

Important: Grounded Therapy is not an emergency service. If you or someone else is in immediate danger, call 999. For urgent mental health help in England, use NHS 111 and select the mental health option.
