Safer Highways are delighted to announce that an additional 40 Tickets have now been made available for this year's Thriving at Work Survey Report Launch.
Taking place at its usual home of the House of Lords as a breakfast meeting on Thursday 2nd December, the event had been operating under restricted numbers due to concerns over covid-19 restrictions.
However, to coincide with World Mental Health Day, (10th October), organisers are delighted to announce that after taking a pandemic induced hiatus in 2020, the event will once again run at its full capacity of 120 people.
The event will play host to a number of guests that will not only analyse the results of the 2021 Thriving at Work report but once again present the latest thinking on how the industry can raise the bar on the provision of workplace mental health support.
Safer Highways launched this year’s survey in May, the third to once again consider the standards of provision around mental health in the workplace.
Last year the organisation sampled the 250 of the biggest organisations who work, not only on the strategic road network, but also who serve to maintain local roads to establish where the sector sits against the government’s Thriving at Work report – published in 2017.
But this year, Safer Highways has signalled its intentions to widen its ambitions. “As time moves on and standards improve we also recognise the need to take the survey further and indeed to benchmark ourselves against other sectors. That is why this year’s survey will do exactly that,” said Kevin Robinson, Chief Executive of Safer Highways. “I’m really pleased with the response to the sector wanting both tickets to attend the Mental Health Summit on December 2nd but also my thanks go to those companies that have completed the survey so far. I urge others to so, safe in the knowledge that we are really making a difference in the highways sector around provision of mental health in the workplace.”
Safer Highways has developed a new tool to not only vertically cross-slice the highways sector but also horizontally make a base line comparison between ourselves and other sectors which include Aviation, Rail, Maritime, Utilities, Construction, Fleet and Logistics and indeed extend itsreach into the pharmaceutical and secondary education sectors with the ambitious goal being to effectively be able to benchmark the entire UK plc over the coming years.
“This has been developed in collaboration with our partners at Mind and, we hope, will provide an opportunity for organisations to begin the process of effecting real change around mental health instantaneously and not months down the line. We hope, in some way, that this will contribute to a continuous improvement in not only awareness but also organisations approach to workplace mental health.” Mr Robinson added.
Within seconds of completing the survey and adding contact details, the user will be emailed a comprehensive report which can be presented right unto board level as to how you, as an organisation can effect real organisational change.
