Company self-assessment on mental health
The GBDN has developed a mental health self-assessment tool for companies to guide them in successfully addressing mental health issues at work. The tool will allow you to assess your company’s current practices related to mental health. It serves as a general guideline and is intended for use by HR professionals, OSH specialists, managers, or any other professional with knowledge about company mental health practices.
The tool is broken down into questions in following sections:
- Mental health and well-being promotion
- Combating stigma and raising awareness on mental health
- Manager training on mental health
- Reasonable accommodation for individuals with mental health conditions
- Disability management and return-to-work/stay-at-work strategies for individuals with mental health conditions and psychosocial disabilities
Each section contains a brief description, a general multiple-choice question and several yes/no questions followed by the space intended for additional comments, if any. One general question, assessing how advanced you consider your organization is in demonstrating good mental health practices, is provided at the end of the tool.
Upon completing the self-assessment tool, you will be provided with feedback and have the option to download your results. Your answers will be available in PDF format, along with graphic illustrations on how successfully your organization addresses mental health in the particular section. This will enable your company not only to identify strengths or gaps and compare results from individual sections but to enhance your policies and practices addressing different aspects of mental health.
