Work isn’t just about deadlines, projects, and meetings. It’s also about people. And people do their best work when they feel supported, both professionally and personally. That’s why more companies are prioritising employee mental health and offering resources that go beyond the basics.

From dedicated mental health platforms and wellbeing programmes to mental health days that encourage genuine rest, these employers are showing that caring for their teams is more than a policy, it’s part of their culture.

To get started, here’s a breakdown of some of the benefits these companies offer:

• Mental health platforms: Dedicated tools and resources designed to help employees manage and support their mental wellbeing.
• Mental health days: Extra days off, in addition to annual leave, that employees can use when they need time to focus on their mental health.
• Mental health support groups: Employee-led groups or networks that provide peer support and a safe space to talk during challenging times.

In this article, we highlight some of the best companies supporting employee mental health and share how they are creating workplaces where wellbeing is supported, valued, and protected.
