Our Commitment to Wellbeing
Our Mental Health Wellbeing Charter has been developed with you in mind. At NEXT we understand that maintaining your Wellbeing can be challenging. This Charter gives you the opportunity to learn how we will support you at work as we know that a happy full-filled work force is a productive one.
See below our easy to read Charter.
At NEXT we want to have a culture that promotes and enables us all to achieve positive mental wellbeing.
When we talk about mental wellbeing we mean "where you are able to achieve your potential, cope with normal day to day pressures, thrive and be productive in all aspects of your life."
Give easy access to information or services which are needed to make helpful decisions about mental wellbeing.
Encourage an environment where mental wellbeing is discussed openly and in a way that is non-judgemental, eliminating stigma, fear and discrimination.
Treat people fairly and with care and compassion.
Help everyone to recognise that for some people maintaining positive mental wellbeing can be a challenge.
Encourage and enable everyone to take responsibility by making their own wellbeing choices.
Ensure that support is provided with respect, dignity and honesty.
Regularly monitor our performance, asses progress and take action to improve the opportunities for positive mental wellbeing.
Listen to people, taking into account how they feel; respecting that they may want to maintain confidentiality if they are struggling.
Put mental wellbeing on a par with physical health.
NEXT is inspiring, exciting and a rewarding place to work and we want you to feel able to be creative, productive and engaged.
By helping you to maintain positive mental wellbeing, we know you will also help us to be successful.
