A Norwich architectural firm is showing its commitment to raising the profile of mental health and wellbeing in the workplace by signing up to a national campaign.
LSI Architects is signing the Time to Change pledge on World Mental Health Day (Tuesday, October 10) to mark its intention to become a more open and supportive organisation with regard to mental health issues.
Led by the charities Mind and Rethink Mental Illness, the Time to Change campaign aims to change how people think and act about mental health problems. The pledge is funded by the Department of Health, Comic Relief and the Big Lottery Fund.
Partner at LSI Architects Ben Goode said: 'One in four people now suffer some form of mental illness each year. It is no longer something that can be brushed under the carpet. Every employer depends on having healthy and productive employees – valued and supported staff are far more likely to perform better.'
