Chris Edwards, Event Director at Informa Markets, said:
“We are honoured to work with MHPP for the Safety & Health Expo. Our programme is designed to represent the multi-faceted nature of occupational health and wellbeing. This partnership underscores the importance of mental health within this, and a commitment to raising the profile of mental health in the workplace."
Nemmy Johnston, Programme Manager at Mind, part of the Mental Health and Productivity Pilot, said:
“We are delighted to speak at Safety & Health Expo. Mental health problems affect one in six workers each year and are the leading cause of sickness absence. 56% of employers said they would like to do more to improve staff wellbeing but don’t feel they have the right training or guidance. It is vital organisations make the wellbeing of their staff a priority.
We’re looking forward to leading a seminar “Mental Health. In conversation with Carnell about moving from policy to people” on Tuesday 17th May.”
