After years of working with business leaders to transform their workplaces into hubs of collaboration, productivity and innovation, the Dharma Centre for Workplace Wellbeing is launching its state-of-the-art virtual workplace wellbeing academy, designed to bolster your team’s workplace wellbeing efforts and fast-track your company’s journey towards legal compliance and beyond.
With roadmaps, in-depth practical training, resources, curated guides, templates, explanatory videos, access to expert guidance and the Dharma Community, your company can take the right steps to reduce legal, financial and reputational risks that arise from a failure to meet your legal obligations as an employer (i.e. not implementing a mental health and safety management system).
As a Sussex business, you’ll get 20% off your annual Dharma Academy membership if you join using the Sussex Chamber affiliate link, so pre-order to gain access to founding member perks!
Why we decided to partner with the Dharma Academy
87% of UK businesses are failing to comply with their legal duty of care to employees, which means that the majority of companies are sitting ducks should regulators choose to inspect them. Mental health at work has been gaining traction over the last decade or so, and nowadays, failing to manage psychosocial risks could land you and your company in some very hot water, not just financially speaking, but reputationally and legally too.
Don’t find out the hard way that your legal duty of care encompasses mental health simply because:
- The majority of businesses don’t know that current legislation requires companies that employ five people or more to have an operating mental health and safety management system
- The majority of HR professionals and health and safety consultants are unaware of this legal requirement and are exposing organisations to unnecessary legal, financial and reputational risk
- There are very few companies that have the required background and expertise to help businesses fully comply with their employer’s legal duty of care, and these consultancy services are beyond the reach of a small business budget
Sussex Chamber is proud to have partnered with the Dharma Academy to ensure we are protecting the Sussex business community. This opportunity is available to all businesses in Sussex for a limited period of time, after which it will be exclusively available to Sussex Chamber members only. Mental health at work and the law – act now, protect your business and save 20%!
