Mental Health Matters - Championing Wellbeing at Work

Home | News | Mental Health Matters - Championing Wellbeing at Work

We believe in the importance of mental health in the workplace, fostering a culture that prioritises open conversations and also provides real support. Work can be a source of purpose, connection, and fulfilment, but it can also bring stress and anxiety. At Ridgeview, we understand the vital role a supportive workplace plays in protecting and improving mental health. We asked three of our Mental Health First Aiders to share their thoughts on the importance of fostering a healthy, happy and balanced work environment.

Simon Larder Head of Facilities and Estate

“A mentally healthy workplace is one where people feel safe to talk openly about how they’re really doing.

Checking in with colleagues regularly and creating spontaneous moments for conversation can make a big difference. It’s all about building trust and ensuring no one feels alone when they’re struggling.”

Mardi Roberts | Brand Ambassador

“To break down the stigma surrounding mental health, leaders need to show vulnerability and encourage openness.

Start by normalising mental health conversations in meetings or casual check-ins – it sends a clear message that mental well-being matters just as much as physical health.”

By promoting an authentic, open, and supportive culture, we seek to create a space where everyone feels valued and heard.

At Ridgeview, we’re committed to making mental well-being part of our everyday conversations, building resilience together as a team.

Karolina Niemyjska | People & Well-being Co-ordinator

“Reducing stress and anxiety in the workplace starts with small steps: offering flexibility, encouraging breaks, and checking in with colleagues regularly.

At Ridgeview, we run staff workshops on stress management and wellbeing initiatives with Champion Health that help everyone feel more supported.

Simple actions can go a long way in creating a culture of care and understanding.”

Our focus on small, consistent steps helps nurture a balanced environment where well-being isn’t just a benefit, but a priority. We believe that when our people feel supported, they can achieve their best, bringing greater purpose and joy to their work.
