Manorview Group's Commitment to Mental Health Shines with Prestigious Wellness Charter
In a significant step towards enhancing mental health and wellbeing in the hospitality industry, Manorview Group has been awarded the esteemed Wellness Charter by Hospitality Health, a Scottish charity dedicated to transforming mental health perceptions within the sector.
Pioneering Change in Wellbeing
Founded in 2018, Hospitality Health's mission revolves around changing how the hospitality and tourism industry addresses mental health challenges. Its Wellness Charter award recognizes businesses taking effective measures to support their employees' mental and emotional wellbeing. This initiative is particularly vital given the industry's reputation for demanding work hours and pressures on work-life balance.
Manorview Group's Holistic Approach
Manorview Group has implemented an extensive program aimed at supporting its staff, addressing both workplace and broader life challenges. Mhairi Strohm, L&D Manager at Manorview, expressed pride in being reaccredited with the Wellness Charter, emphasizing that “caring for our team is a vital aspect of our business.” This commitment is evident through mental health first aiders and wellness training provided for all employees.
A Collective Effort for Better Wellbeing
Amy Scott-Carmichael, Head of People at Manorview, echoed this sentiment, highlighting that “people really are at the heart of everything we do.” The recognition of their efforts underscores the importance of maintaining a supportive work environment where staff can thrive, both personally and professionally.
The Vision of Hospitality Health
Gordon McIntyre, Chairman of Hospitality Health, articulated a broader goal of equipping the hospitality and tourism sectors with crucial tools and training to prioritize staff welfare effectively. Post-pandemic, the need for such initiatives has become more pressing, making the work of Hospitality Health invaluable.
This recognition not only celebrates Manorview Group’s commitment to improving mental health in the workplace but also sets a precedent for other businesses in the industry to follow suit.
