Why Your HR Team Needs to Know About OH One

Under the Equality Act 2010, mental health problems became considered a disability and therefore a ‘protected characteristic’ under the Act. As we all know, it’s only been in recent years that mental health, especially, has been brought into the conversation of work.

Whether it’s depression, anxiety, BPD, or something else entirely, mental health problems can have a huge impact on a person’s self-esteem, relationships, and life. To manage this in the workplace can have its challenges.

Why OH One?

It is important to support employees struggling with their health – mental, physical, or otherwise. Many workplaces have offered mental health training to various designated employees.

However, if you aren’t experienced with mental and physical health training, it can be difficult to know which areas you're missing out on.

That’s where OH One comes in.
