The Facts
What is the
commitment?
A simple framework outlining a roadmap to achieving better mental health and wellbeing outcomes in cybersecurity. It sets out a list of actionable standards that any organisation can follow to improve and support their team’s wellbeing.
Based on The Mental Health at Work Commitment, the Thriving at Work standards, other pledges, standards, and up-to-date research, from UK employers and mental health experts.
Why make the
commitment?
Set a standard and lead an example for the industry by implementing each standard for their team.
Each standard comes with ideas to get you thinking and tools to get you started—all aiming to make it easier for organisations big and small to implement each standard and drive change.
It’s a way of showing your values by publicly declaring that mental health at work is a priority for your organisation, and you’re pledging to make a change by joining the growing movement of like-minded employers, businesses and organisations across the UK.
