Organisational Mental Health Wheel

Most organisations know they should be doing more on mental health. Fewer know where the gaps actually are. This worksheet gives a quick, honest picture. It works best completed separately by several people, such as HR, a senior leader and a line manager, and then compared.

01

Step 1: score each area

How well does your organisation do each of these today?

0 = not at all, 10 = consistently, across the whole organisation

Statement	0	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8	9	10
Leadership: senior leaders talk about mental health and act on it
Policy: there is a clear, current approach that people know about
Managers: line managers are trained and confident to have the conversation
Work design: workloads, deadlines and hours are realistic
Culture: people can say they are struggling without it counting against them
Support: help is easy to find and use, such as an EAP or occupational health
Adjustments: reasonable adjustments are made promptly and fairly
Measurement: you track what is happening, such as absence, turnover and surveys, and act on it
