My Whole Self is MHFA England® campaign for workplace culture change, culminating on My Whole Self Day. We want organisations to empower employees to bring their whole self to work. By bringing together diversity and inclusion with health and wellbeing we can drive positive transformation in workplace mental health and performance.
By bringing together diversity and inclusion with health and wellbeing, we hope to drive positive transformation in workplace mental health and performance. Teams that feel safe and connected work better together. We want you to feel psychologically safe, seen, heard and valued which is why we have decided to get involved.
In 2024, we should feel safe to bring our whole selves to work, without prejudice or consequence. That includes background, sexuality, religion, gender, health and mental health. Yet the research shows only 61% of employees feel they can do so. Despite a growing understanding of the importance of psychological safety in the workplace, this is a decline since 2020, when two thirds (66%) of workers felt able to. If we don’t feel safe to bring our whole self to work, it will limit the joy and satisfaction we are able to feel in our work, as well as our performance.

It's great to see Services for the UnderServed taking such a crucial step towards creating a supportive work environment. Addressing mental health in the workplace is essential for fostering a culture of empathy and understanding. How has the team responded to these initiatives so far?
