B&M McHugh’s senior management has pledged to make a concerted effort to raise mental health awareness within the company. This has led to various achievements including creating an action plan to which we are committed to seeing fulfilled.

Within it, we will establish our vision and pledge that confirms our commitment and describes the ongoing work B&M McHugh is carrying out to promote good health and wellbeing in our workplace.

It is with great excitement that we can today share with the B. & M. McHugh team the company Pledge in which we will work together to:

• Raise awareness of health and wellbeing

• Improve understanding of health and wellbeing

• Identify how we can help to promote and maintain good health & wellbeing

• Ensure sufficient training and support that promotes positive health & wellbeing

• Promote a culture in which everyone feels able to talk about and access the support they need

• To proactively consider the impact of how we work and our working

• Embed health & wellbeing considerations into our everyday way of working

• Provide effective, timely and good quality support to colleagues who are experiencing health and wellbeing difficulties

We have set out an elaborate action plan which will assist all levels within the company. These actions will initially consist of:

• A Signed Pledge to demonstrate commitment

• A poster at every site to raise awareness and identify MHFA

• Identification of Mental Health First Aiders

• A training programme for all levels within the company

• Inclusion of Health & Wellbeing in all PDR’s

Over the course of the year we will continue to provide feedback to all staff through this platform and various others. If you wish to be part of the future developments and actions please do not hesitate to get in touch with the Mental Health First Aiders identified in the attached poster, the HSQE team or your line manager.
