We are a Mindful Employer

MINDFUL EMPLOYER is led by employers and aimed at increasing awareness of mental health in the workplace and supporting businesses in recruiting and retaining staff. A wide range of employers have been involved in planning the initiative which gives businesses ongoing practical support, training materials, an online discussion forum, support networks and assistance from other employers.

By signing and working towards the principles of the Mindful Employer charter, HARTLEPOOL BOROUGH COUNCIL aims to reduce the stigma of mental health issues within the workplace by showing a positive and supporting attitude to employees and job applicants with mental health issues, providing non-judgemental and proactive support to individual staff who may experience mental health issues, and ensuring managers have access to information and training about managing mental health in the workplace.

MINDFUL EMPLOYER is facilitated by WorkWAYS, a service of Devon Partnership NHS Trust, which provides information, advice and practical support for people whose mental health affects their ability to find or retain employment, training, education or voluntary work. MINDFUL EMPLOYER® is a Registered Trade Mark of Devon Partnership NHS Trust.
