Ranging from airplane engine maker Rolls-Royce to the restaurant chain Pizza Hut, supermarket chains Tesco and Marks & Spencer, not forgetting the Virgin Money bank plus gas giant British Gas, hundreds of UK businesses from across all business sectors are currently working together within the Time to Change movement to overturn outdated attitudes to mental health in the workplace. Insurance heavyweight Aviva is the latest big name to join the movement that was launched back in 2007 with part funding from the UK government.
While PM Theresa May has identified mental health in the workplace as one of the Conservative Party’s primary campaign priorities ahead of the 08 June elections, (c.f. article No. 10217), UK businesses have already made significant progress on the issue with 485 of them fully signed-up members of the Time to Change movement that was set up by the Mind and Rethink Mental Illness charities.
