TAKE ACTION AS AN EMPLOYER

Once you've signed the Pledge, you'll have access to a free package of support which includes:

• A booklet with general guidance and tips on how to implement the commitments.
• Large posters of the charter to display in your organization’s workspace.
• Invitation to nominate a mental health champion (Human Resources Manager or similar profile) from your organization that will receive:
  
  • A training for champions that will build their knowledge and literacy about mental health and policies related to mental health in the workplace and equip them to communicate about mental health,   identify   workplace   stressors,   advocate for necessary changes to address them and support colleagues going through mental ill-health.
  • A training of trainers on self-care that will build their capacity to provide trainings on self-care to employees in your organization.
• Inclusion in the mailing list of the national initiative for mental health in the workplace to receive updates and best practices exchanges and to be invited to activities that may be carried as part of the initiative.

The Charter must be signed by the employer him or herself or someone with authority to act on behalf of the employer. By filling out the commitment form below, you are signing the Charter and endorsing that your organization:

• Willingly signs the National Charter for Mental Health in the Workplace.
• Understands that a short twice a year submission of steps taken towards supporting workplace mental health is required for renewal of commitment. The date the form is submitted will act as the date used to determine the date of the review of the implementation status of the Charter. 
• Allows your logo to be placed on this website among organizations that have pledged. This is not an endorsement of the organization by the Ministry of Public Health but a recognition of this important step taken.

When you fill out the form, you can be confident about how the information you fill will be looked after. The information will be used in a confidential way to contact you to share next steps upon signature and afterwards regarding the progress in your initial commitment to the Charter.

We believe that everyone in the workplace has a role in creating an environment that promotes mental health for themselves and their co-workers. We also recognize that mental health and wellbeing are critical in delivering the outcomes we aim to reach as an organization. 

Our organization is thus pleased to join the national movement to promote, protect and support mental health in the workplace. As committed leaders in employee wellbeing, we are committed to contributing to the national vision that “all persons living in Lebanon will have the opportunity to enjoy the best possible mental health and wellbeing” by taking a holistic and inclusive approach to mental health in our workplace, by: 1) preventing mental ill-health through addressing risk factors within the workplace, 2) promoting positive mental wellbeing, and 3) where mental ill-health occurs, taking action to support recovery. This charter establishes the actions our organization commits to implementing to ensure we achieve this goal. 

We aim to implement all the actions in the charter and play our role in protecting and promoting a healthier society by building a mentally healthy organization.
