Leeds Mindful Employer Network
The Leeds Mindful Employer Network brings local employers together to champion positive mental health at work.
The Network was established in 2013. It is a unique offer to Leeds, putting the city at the forefront of initiatives to promote workplace mental health and wellbeing.
It is commissioned by Leeds City Council (Public Health) and led by Leeds Mind in partnership with local employers.
Our membership currently includes over 700 local employers.
The Ten Step Toolkit
The Mindful Employer Ten Step Toolkit has been created by the Leeds Mindful Employer Network. It provides a series of ten steps to help employers (either in Leeds or across the UK) develop and embed good practice in workplace mental health.
