What is a Mental Health Plan?
A detailed explanation of how a business intends to address mental health within its workplace.
At Bloomwise, we provide our customers with a Mental Health Plan. Our Mental Health Plan is a detailed explanation of how a business intends to address mental health problems. This is a proactive way of making business owners and managers think ahead and prepare for ways of addressing mental health challenges. A Mental Health Plan will include specific objectives, overall goals, and a vision statement to help you make mental health actionable within your workplace . It is a living document that will be reviewed over time and used to determine effective mental health growth. We also provide a 'diagnostic' as an additional service to help you fill out the Mental Health Plan. Our aim at Bloomwise is to not only improve the mental health of employees, but to also bring significant economic value to small businesses by tapping into the causes of presenteeism, absenteeism, sick leave, and high staff turnover, which loses employers £56 billion every year according to research by Deloitte.
What is the diagnostic?
During this we work with all members of the business to find out what is most important to them in terms of workplace mental health. Think of us like a third-party collecting information and data to inform you on what really matters to your employees. Using this information, we will identify ‘themes’ and write a report, which informs you for completing the Mental Health Plan.
What is a Mental Health Plan?
Bloomwise's Mental Health Plan is based on the Stevenson Farmer Report. The Stevenson Farmer Report is an independent review commissioned by the United Kingdom Prime Minister in 2017 which looked at the extent of poor mental health at work and the effect this was having on our workforce and economy. It looked at how employers can better support the mental health of all people currently in employment including those with mental health problems or poor well-being to remain in and thrive through work. The report sets out six “mental health core standards”. These six core standards make up the backbone of our Mental Health Plan.

"Placing employee wellness and prosperity at the heart of our company culture has always been a key driver for MicrobesNG. By engaging with Bloomwise (a fellow University of Birmingham spin out company) MicrobesNG has been able to engage in mental health provisions for our staff in a real and tangible way. By hosting our employee diagnostic meetings Frankie and Paris were able to help define key development areas that would have real impact in the creation of the company Mental Health Plan. The workshops that they will deliver are aligned to our specific needs based on feedback from our team. As a wider result of our work with Bloomwise we have been able to build a whole calendar of mental heath activities around these workshops and from Bloomwise guidance.
We knew what we wanted to achieve in relation to employee mental health provisions, but we were lacking the framework within which to deliver that in a meaningful way. The Bloomwise team have enabled MicrobesNG to realise our potential as an employer who prioritise and delivers on employee mental health provisions. There is still work to be done and I'm glad to have the partnership with Bloomwise to support this moving forward in the years to come. Thank you to Frankie and Paris for being so responsive to our needs and for all of their work to date!"
