KIDS PLANET SIGNS MENTAL HEALTH PLEDGE

Prioritising mental health has never been more important. In a survey of UK adults conducted by Business in the Community in partnership with Bupa in 2020, only 51% of employees said that they feel comfortable talking about mental health in the workplace, whilst 49% report that they have experienced a work-related mental health issue in the last year. That’s why it is so important to the team at Kids Planet to sign the Mental Health at Work Commitment pledge, and they are looking forward to what the future holds and continuing to make Kids Planet a great place to work for everybody.
