It’s been a challenging year and yet, it has not dented the excellent work that organisations and individuals do in promoting FREDIE best practice”.

Mental Health in the Workplace

For Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, we rolled out a campaign across our social media channels to support mental health at work. It can be easy to focus more on mental health in general, in our day-to-day life which is why we wanted to share some hints and tips which may benefit people in and around the workplace.

At Venesky Brown, we encourage our employees to speak up about how they are feeling. This isn’t a sign of weakness; it is simply part of taking charge of your well-being by allowing help and support from others. We strongly believe in teamwork, asking for help when necessary and caring for one another to maintain a healthy and productive workforce.

As part of Venesky-Brown’s ongoing commitment towards maintaining and developing a working environment that is welcoming to people from all backgrounds and abilities, we have embarked on a journey with the National Centre for Diversity that lead us to achieving the Investors in Diversity for Small Businesses Award.

By embarking on this journey we were be able to engage with staff across all our divisions and enable employees to “have their say”, on how we are doing in terms of FREDIE: Fairness, Respect, Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Engagement, making these standards at the heart of everything we do.

Through the Investors in Diversity programme,  we have developed a working environment that is inclusive, transparent and we have enhanced how we communicate with a diverse range of people.
