Today, on World Mental Health Day, we take a moment to reaffirm something that sits at the heart of who we are at Verlingue: the importance of our people’s wellbeing matters.
We understand that mental health is just as vital as physical health. Life can be unpredictable, and we all face moments where we need a little extra support. That’s why we’re committed to fostering a culture of openness, empathy, and care, where every colleague feels safe to speak up, to reach out, and to be supported.
How we support our people
At Verlingue, we’re proud to offer a range of initiatives designed to make a real difference to our employees’ mental health and overall wellbeing:
Unlimited access to a workplace counsellor
We recognise how vital professional support can be. That’s why all our employees have unlimited, confidential access to a qualified counsellor whenever they need it.
Employee Assistance Programme (EAP)
Our EAP provides round-the-clock support, including mental health resources, financial and legal guidance, and expert advice for life’s challenges.
Flexible and compassionate working
We treat our employees like family. When life doesn’t go to plan - whether it’s a family emergency, illness, or personal difficulty - we respond with understanding, flexibility, and care.
Connection and community
From social events to wellbeing initiatives, we create opportunities for our people to connect, recharge, and support one another.
Comprehensive Health Benefits
Our wellbeing offering includes BUPA healthcare, income protection, and a range of benefits that support both physical and mental health.
Wellbeing check-ins
We make space for regular wellbeing conversations, whether during informal catch-ups or structured meetings. These moments matter.
Mental Health First Aiders
Our trained MHFAs across the business are equipped to spot signs of distress and offer early, confidential support when colleagues need it most.
A lasting commitment
Supporting mental health isn’t something we do because of a date on the calendar; it’s part of our DNA. Every action we take, every policy we shape, and every conversation we encourage is rooted in our belief that people thrive when they feel cared for and supported. Together, we continue to make Verlingue a place where everyone can bring their whole self to work - and know that it’s truly okay not to be okay.
