Wellbeing Compliance
The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA)
All employers have a legal duty of care to employees. Compliance with The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (HASAWA) means every employer must ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the health, safety and welfare of employees are protected. They must also conduct a risk assessment to identify the measures necessary for them to comply with the Act and other employment legislation.
Legal compliance under employment law includes:
- plant and systems of work
- use, handling, storage and transportation of articles and substances
- provision of information, instruction, training and supervision necessary for the health and safety of employees
- maintenance of the place of work, including access and exit, in a safe condition
- MENTAL HEALTH (including workplace stress); and
- provision and maintenance of a safe working environment with adequate facilities.
Why Does Providing Mental Health & Wellbeing Support Matter?

According to the Health and Safety Executive, some 12.8 million working days were lost in the UK primarily due to stress, anxiety and depression in 2018/19 which averages 21.2 days per employee. This is obviously not good for business productivity or morale in the workplace.

The Wellbeing People Case Studies
The HSE requires all companies, with 5 or more employees, to carry out Stress Risk Assessments on a regular basis to support employers with managing mental health in the workplace. The Wellbeing People Ltd provides the right support to suit the size of your business.
The Wellbeing Assessment meets the stress risk assessment requirements and provides individuals with the opportunity to take responsibility for how they are feeling, empowering them to make the necessary change and therefore increasing engagement and reducing sickness absence.
Wellbeing Assessments carried out on a one to one basis (Online or On-site) with each employee (around an hour). Action Plans agreed – the employee ‘owns’ the actions which will improve their mental health.
Corporate RAG rated Scorecard produced showing how the company is performing against each of the 7 key areas known to promote positive mental health in the workplace. A Corporate action plan is produced and the company is support to deliver the agreed changes – ensuring the required changes are made, the company meets the HSE requirements, employee engagement is increased and sickness absence is reduced.
The Wellbeing People also provide additional support in terms of a workshop for tools and techniques to manage stress or one to one sessions for employees experiencing anxiety or depression.
Line Managers/Team Leaders are trained to carry out Wellbeing Assessments – given techniques and training on how to hold ‘difficult’ mental health conversations and empower the employee to make the necessary changes themselves – moving from ‘cause to effect’.
The Wellbeing People provide analysis of the assessments, production of the scorecard/action plans and provide additional support as above if required.
Line Managers/Team Leaders are trained to carry out Wellbeing Assessments – given techniques and training on how to hold ‘difficult’ mental health conversations and empower the employee to make the necessary changes themselves – moving from ‘cause to effect’.
Scorecard and Action plan templates are provided for completion. The Wellbeing People provide additional support as required.
A refrigeration company with 134 employees provide an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) for members of their team to contact for legal/financial advice and access to mental health support (6 sessions of counselling), directly if required. This reactive approach is common across many organisations but doesn’t show if/when/how the organisation is impacting or supporting the mental health of their employees.
15 Line Managers and Directors attended the 2-day Mental Health Awareness Training provided by The Wellbeing People Ltd and were provided with the template to carry out the assessments with their teams. These were conducted in the place of a monthly performance review (to ensure resource requirements were minimal). The completed assessments were emailed directly to The Wellbeing People. The Wellbeing People analysed the results, highlighting urgent support requirements as necessary, produced the RAG rated scorecard and associated action plans at Team, Area and Corporate level.
These were shared with the company during a 1 hour feedback meeting. Additional support has been given in terms of Stress Management Workshops – identified through the assessments for a group of 12 employees and One to One sessions have been delivered to 3 employees who shared they were experiencing anxiety/depression during their assessment.
The Company have booked this service on an annual basis to ensure they regularly review, implement and assess the necessary changes to continue to support the wellbeing of their teams.
