In 2022 WHO(1) issued guidelines for mental health at work and with a high certainty of evidence, strongly recommended Manager Training. They ask that workplaces:
Train line managers to support workers’ mental health, improve their knowledge and attitudes, and enhance workers’ help-seeking behaviours
Build this into a comprehensive programme, including refresher training
Engage senior leaders to support the cultural change
Choose a training provider that has a strong evidence base
