Packages are tailored to an organisation’s size and needs, ensuring actions are achievable and impactful.

It for is for all organisations. Large or small and from any sector; private, public or charity.

The partnership has three packages and organisations can choose the tier that best suits them. Our workplace consultant will work with you, taking into account the number of staff, your budget and how much support you might need.

*Workplace Partnership packages start from as little as £2.75 per employee per month - based on a foundation package for 650 employees 

Each package is bespoke to your needs - contact us for a conversation and a quote.

The Partnership is an ongoing relationship. Organisations will initially sign up for a year and then during that time we will look at what would be appropriate moving forwards.

Yes. We have partnered with a company called CoEfficient and developed a Health and Wellbeing Workplace Survey. All research in the wellbeing space currently advocates for having data to enable organisations to help them see where their gaps are, what is working and what isn’t so that there is starting place from which to work from. It enables organisations to put things in place and then see if this makes a difference.

Absolutely.

1. We don’t collect staff names or email addresses
2. The survey is deployed via a simple link to a webpage
3. When we receive the data, we have no way of telling who it’s from. We only see numerical data.
4. No one can drill down below 3 people in a demographic group on the dashboard

We've developed our survey to gather the most useful data about your workforce for optimal results. We know, however, that many employers already use a survey. Some find their survey expensive and some employers have admitted it is run once a year and the data is not particularly well used or shared with staff. Some staff surveys don’t include wellbeing questions and organisations are often unable to drill down into factors such as demographic, seniority or departments and teams, which our survey is able to do

However, we know some employers are very happy with the survey they use, if we agree that it includes the necessary wellbeing questions then we can adjust the Partnership cost to reflect this.

Ultimately it is up to you. There is no pressure to sign up but we think it is likely that more can always be done in the wellbeing space. Some organisations think that people are happy and well at work but when they look at their survey data they see otherwise. Alternatively you might want your current and prospective employees to know your organisation cares about employee wellbeing, in which case, showing your Workplace Partnership badge on your recruitment portal and website can offer credibility.

Research from a 2023 report from Mental Health UK shows that 1 in 5 UK workers reported feeling unable to manage stress and pressure in the workplace.

Poor mental health is sadly widespread and can affect any of us at any time. Reducing stigma and making our workplaces a safe space for all has not only a benefit for the individual but saves our organisations money. Poor mental health significantly impacts workplaces and has a knock on effect by reducing performance as staff may be absent from work or in work but less productive and efficient.

There are lots of other options for workplace wellbeing solutions. However, what makes Solent Mind’s Workplace Partnerships unique is our evidence‑based wellbeing survey, which helps organisations make informed decisions and set meaningful goals for lasting change.

An added advantage of signing up for Solent Mind's workplace partnership is that there is a person at the end of the phone or email ready to support your specific needs. All the money raised by the Workplace Partnership goes back into Solent Mind and supports the work we do locally in our community.
