Celebrating World Mental Health Day

Employee mental health is no longer just a conversation—it’s a priority. As companies globally recognise the importance of mental wellness in the workplace, World Mental Health Day provides a unique opportunity for businesses to reflect on how they can support their teams. At Activ People HR, we’re committed to ensuring that mental health is at the forefront of our HR solutions, helping organisations build a happier, healthier workforce.

Prioritising Mental Health in the Workplace
World Mental Health Day, celebrated every year on October 10th, is a reminder for businesses to evaluate how they’re supporting the emotional and psychological wellbeing of their employees. From managing workload stress to fostering open conversations about mental health, organisations play a critical role in creating a culture that promotes mental wellness.

Adrian Lewis, our Commercial Director at Activ People HR, emphasises the importance of this day in the workplace:

“Mental health isn’t just a personal issue; it’s a business one. The mental wellbeing of employees directly affects productivity, engagement, and overall company success. At Activ People HR, we’re committed to providing tools and systems that put people first, helping businesses support their teams in meaningful and impactful ways.”

How Activ People HR Supports Employee Mental Health
Activ People HR was designed with a clear mission: to create HR solutions that truly focus on the needs of people. We recognise that a flexible, supportive workplace is crucial to maintaining good mental health. Our suite of HR tools empowers organisations to monitor, support, and engage employees in a way that fosters wellbeing.

Here’s how:

Leave & Absence Management: Encouraging work-life balance is a cornerstone of mental health. Our system makes it easy for employees to manage their leave and for HR teams to track absences, ensuring that employees are getting the time off they need to recharge.

Performance Management: Regular feedback and clear objectives help employees feel more secure in their roles. By tracking performance and development, businesses can ensure their teams are not overwhelmed and have the support they need to thrive.

Time Tracking: Overworking is a key contributor to burnout. Our time-tracking tools provide full transparency into employee hours, making sure that managers can spot trends and intervene early if someone is consistently overworked.

Employee Documents and Training Records: When employees have access to the right resources and development opportunities, their confidence and mental wellbeing improve. Our centralised document management and training records make it simple for businesses to support their employees’ growth and address their concerns.

Celebrating Progress, Supporting the Future
On this World Mental Health Day, we at Activ People HR encourage all businesses to reflect on how they can better support the mental health of their employees. The right tools, policies, and culture make all the difference when it comes to creating a work environment where people feel valued, supported, and capable of bringing their best selves to work every day.

Adrian Lewis adds:

“The success of any company is deeply tied to the wellbeing of its people. As we celebrate World Mental Health Day, I urge all business leaders to recognize that supporting mental health isn’t just a one-day initiative. It’s an ongoing commitment to creating an environment where employees can thrive.”

At Activ People HR, we are proud to be part of this journey—helping businesses create environments that not only support productivity but also place a high priority on mental wellbeing.
