Your Guide to Building a Mentally Healthy Workplace
Our Thriving at Work Framework is a roadmap to guide your business to building a mentally healthy workplace.
More businesses recognise the need to prioritise workplace mental health. However, it can be difficult to know which approaches and initiatives will actually work. Our evidence-based Framework will help your business to answer this critical question.
The Framework is anchored in best practice from workplaces around the world, and was developed in collaboration with the World Wellbeing Movement. It draws on the insights of over 100 organisations from across the world, as well as latest academic research.
Pillars and Standards
The Framework highlights three areas which your organisation should focus on to promote workplace mental wellbeing: Organisational Culture, Working Environment, and Support for Individuals. These three Strategic Pillars form the foundation of a holistic approach.
Beneath these Pillars are ten evidence-based Standards. These outline the essential actions your organisation should take. Together, these Pillars and Standards will help you to design a comprehensive approach to workplace mental wellbeing at the organisational, team and individual levels. It ensures that all parts of your business are aligned to effectively work towards achieving your workplace wellbeing goals.
“MindForward Alliance’s Thriving at Work Framework is the foundation of our approach to employee wellbeing in our network of 40+ offices.

For organisations that are working on their approach to wellbeing, it is a great resource.”
