2023's Wellbeing Hero Award winner, Vikky Goodwin, takes you through the mental health initiative she set up to help frontline employees proactively engage with mental health conversations. The scheme encourages employees to react to situations at work in the same way they would in normal life, substituting work behaviours for personal behaviours and treating colleagues how they would family and friends. Learn practical and effective strategies so you can try them in your organisation.
