According to mental health charity Mind, 60% of employees say they'd feel more motivated and more likely to recommend their organisation as a good place to work if their employer took action to support mental wellbeing. And in a challenging time for recruitment in the dental sector, ‘word of mouth' referrals are a helpful adjunct to the hiring process.

Ways to promote wellbeing in the workplace include encouraging the practice team to take full lunch breaks and take their full annual leave entitlement. Flexible working can help too. For example, a later start time twice a week to enable a team member to accommodate exercise.
