“Code Blue” is a brand new wellbeing initiative, created for our employees to use in the eventuality of a concern over their own or a colleagues mental health.
Often, at times when we are struggling to cope with our thoughts and feelings, the last thing we are able to do is articulate them - particularly at work.
With this in mind, we have developed a solution that we think may help eliminate this obstacle. From today, all of our colleagues are encouraged to email or text “Code Blue” to our HR Manager who is a qualified mental health first aider. She will then initiate the difficult conversation and provide interventional support to ensure our colleagues get the help they need.
It's a simple idea but one which we wholeheartedly encourage other businesses to join us in adopting.
