The importance of looking after your employees' mental health - Marke Creative Merchandise

Statistics from mental health charity Mind show that approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year. 1 in 6 people in England also report experiencing a common mental health problem (such as anxiety and depression) in any given week.

At least some of your employees are likely grapple with mental health issues at some point, so it’s important to have the support and professionals in place to help with this. You can help boost the mental well-being of your employees by:

Encouraging regular breaks and fresh air. With the known result of increased endorphins coming from physical activity, encouraging staff to take a lunch-time walk, run or other exercise could improve their mental health.
Encouraging schemes like ‘Cycle to work’. Showing your commitment to the environment and the fitness of staff and encouraging staff to turn up to work physically and mentally stimulated, can be beneficial.
Ensuring staff feel valued and engaged in the business. Awards in recognition of achievement, long service awards, ample opportunities for staff to feedback and managers to listen, can ensure a culture of positivity and reduced stress.

Energy

"Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive. It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you."

If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb."
