October 10th is World Mental Health Day but the stigma around mental health issues in the workplace remains a challenge that employers and employees face on a daily basis.
As part of idverde’s ongoing commitment to supporting people with mental health problems, and to mark the international awareness-raising day, idverde has enrolled all Managers (over 350 people) onto introductory ‘managing mental health’ training as part of their commitment to ensuring that the company is equipped to support their people with respect to Mental Health.

“Our Employee Assistance Programme provides a confidential, free counselling service and our mental health and wellbeing policies provide guidance on mental wellbeing at work. But we were keen to invest in dedicated training to support our colleagues further, to proactively manage mental health issues in the workplace.”
