James Morris, Founder & MD at Trafalgar Marquees, joins Jen to discuss an area of workplace mental health which is sometimes missed – that is, supporting workforces and employees not based in offices or behind desks.
We cover:
- What leaders can do to start the mental health conversation in non-office based sectors, and why just starting somewhere - anywhere - can make a difference
- The challenges companies without a 100% desk-based workforce might face, such as staff communication and a reluctance to talk about mental health
- What actions Trafalgar has taken to embed mental wellbeing into their core values as a business
- Why all businesses should gather regular data on employee wellbeing and ask for feedback
And more!
