Mental Health and Wellbeing at Enfield Borough Council

We are striving to become an inclusive employer and remove barriers that different staff groups may encounter. Like many other organisations, sickness absence due to stress and mental health issues continues to be the highest cause of absence.

We set up this group to look at this important issue and identify what we can do to support staff. Work can be a key contributor to higher self-esteem, so supporting staff with poor mental health is important to enable a faster and sustainable recovery.
