What documents are required to integrate Mental Health into Banking?

To effectively support mental health in the banking industry, organizations should maintain key documents that outline policies and procedures. These documents ensure compliance with workplace well-being standards and provide a framework for addressing employee needs. Essential documents include:

• Mental Health Policy Statement: A formal commitment to prioritizing mental health, detailing the bank’s approach to fostering a supportive environment.
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP) Guidelines: Clear instructions on accessing counselling and support services, ensuring employees know available resources.
• Stress Management Procedures: Practical strategies to identify and mitigate work-related stress, tailored to banking-specific pressures like deadlines and client demands.
• Mental Health Training Programs: Structured plans for educating staff on mental health awareness, resilience, and coping mechanisms, addressing the gap where only 25% of finance employees have access to such training (Calm Health).
