Participation in Mental Health at Work Initiative Whether supplier companies are part of a mental health at work initiative indicates their proactive approach to mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. It can align with legal requirements or industry best practices.
Implementation of Mental Health Enhanced Standards (Thriving at Work) Implementation of mental health enhanced standards, such as those outlined in the “Thriving at Work” initiative, demonstrates a supplier’s commitment to elevating mental health support within their organisation. This may align with legal recommendations or requirements.
Availability of Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) The presence of an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) indicates that suppliers provide resources to support the mental health and wellbeing of their employees, which can be legally required or recommended in certain regions.
Compliance with Legal Requirements You can easily identify suppliers that meet legal requirements related to mental health and wellbeing initiatives, which may vary by jurisdiction. Compliance helps mitigate legal risks associated with inadequate support for employee mental health.
Promotion of Employee Welfare Suppliers that actively participate in initiatives, implement enhanced standards, and offer EAPs demonstrate a commitment to employee welfare and mental health. This aligns with legal and ethical responsibilities to prioritise employee wellbeing.
Risk Mitigation You can identify non-compliant suppliers or those without adequate mental health and wellbeing initiatives in place. This information allows you to take proactive measures to mitigate legal and reputational risks associated with inadequate support for employee mental health.
