Bostik previously introduced the employee wellbeing assistance programme Help@Hand. More recently, an area of the intranet has been developed to direct colleagues to content covering a range of topics, which supports all aspects of employee wellbeing.


Andrew Bason, Bostik’s HR Director, said: “After consultations, we realised we could do more to foster positive mental health for our colleagues, so we’re delighted to be introducing this network of trained Mental Health First Aiders.”


“We have all found some degree of personal challenge in managing our lives and work in the midst of a global pandemic, so this is an appropriate time


to expand Bostik’s wellbeing services. Everyone should be able to come to work feeling safe, healthy and supported each day. The launch of this important initiative is just the beginning.”


Following the recruitment and training process, the new Mental Health First Aiders will be able to understand factors affecting mental ill health, identify the signs and symptoms of a range of a mental health conditions, and offer supportive conversations to fellow colleagues. Their training will also enable them to provide mental health first aid to someone experiencing an issue or crisis, and signpost people towards professional help.
