It’s Time to Talk Day
Time to Talk Day has returned for another year. For those who have never heard of it, the annual awareness day is dedicated to encouraging people across the country to be open and honest about their mental wellbeing.
First launched in 2014, Time to Talk Day is the biggest mental health event in the UK, where friends, families, communities and workplaces come together to raise awareness, sparking millions of conversations regarding mental health across the nation.
According to recent research, a shocking 76% of employees within the haulage and logistics sector believed that their employer wasn’t doing enough to help employees deal with work-related stress, anxiety and mental health issues.
Here at OSE, we take the mental well-being of our team very seriously. We ensure they receive the utmost care, and that we are available to help with any problems that may be affecting their personal life.
This is a priority for us. We operate an open-door policy for our team, as we believe the more conversations we can have regarding mental health, the more comfortable they can feel whilst at work.
We appreciate that talking about mental health isn’t easy, but one conversation can have the power to change a life.
We believe everyone should make space in their day for a conversation regarding their mental health on Time to Talk Day.
If you are struggling and need someone to talk to, the Samaritans are available 24/7. Visit their contact page or call 116 123 for support.
