This Employer Responsibility Checklist for Mental Health outlines key actions organisations can take to foster a safe and supportive workplace. It helps employers assess current practices and identify meaningful improvements across culture, training, support and accountability.
Use this checklist to:
- Review your mental health policies and leadership culture.
- Ensure managers and employees receive relevant training.
- Evaluate access to support resources and flexible working.
- Improve communication and employee engagement.
- Strengthen reporting mechanisms and track wellbeing outcomes.
Designed to be practical, reflective and people-first, this checklist encourages a culture where mental wellbeing is prioritised – not just promoted.
