World Mental Health Awareness Day 2024

Jane Byrd, Managing Director at Compass Cymru, and head of Culture and Wellbeing at Levy, spoke about prioritising mental health in the workplace: "At Levy, we recognise that the wellbeing of our people is paramount. In fact, our recent employee survey highlighted that health and wellbeing is key to our team members as they ranked it of high importance. As a result, we're excited to announce some great new initiatives launching in 2025, including the return of our popular Levy Lifestyle programme – our exclusive health and wellness course designed to empower our people with the skills to make positive nutritional choices and build healthy habits for improved overall wellbeing both inside and outside the workplace.

By prioritising our team's mental health, we are fostering a healthier and more sustainable work environment. Our focus is on both our teams and our customers, recognising that a thriving workforce translates into the best experience for visitors and guests to our partner sites. People are at the heart of what Levy does, and we cultivate a culture of care. We want our teams to feel supported and empowered to be themselves at work. Our employee networks provide safe spaces for our teams to connect, share experiences, and seek support, contributing to their overall mental wellbeing. While there is still a stigma attached to mental health, we believe we are making progress in breaking down barriers. Leadership plays a crucial role in demonstrating vulnerability and creating a supportive environment where team members feel heard and valued – being able to demonstrate the human side of leadership is absolutely vital."
