This template empowers you to record and assess mental health risks in the workplace, from workload stressors and burnout to psychological hazards. It takes you through a structured process for assessing employee wellbeing and taking clear, actionable steps.

In a poll by the US National Alliance on Mental Illness, more than half of workers reported experiencing burnout over the past year. Being proactive with mental health risk assessments is then critical for meeting your duty of care. For broader needs, explore our stress risk assessment template or business risk assessment template, each tailored for unique compliance challenges.

Frequently asked questions

How do mental health risk assessments help address stigma at work?

By making mental health a routine part of workplace risk management, assessments help normalize the conversation around these issues. When employees see leadership actively addressing mental health risks, it signals that mental wellbeing is valued and encourages people to speak up or seek support if needed.

What types of risks are commonly found in mental health risk assessments?

Common risks include excessive workloads, lack of role clarity, poor communication, workplace bullying, inadequate support, and major organizational changes. External factors like remote work isolation or traumatic events may also be considered, depending on the industry and setting.

How do you encourage staff to participate in mental health risk assessments?

Fostering open communication and confidentiality is key. Explain the purpose clearly, involve employees in discussions or surveys, and make sure feedback is genuinely valued. Letting staff know that their input will be used to create a safer, more supportive workplace will increase engagement.

How can you act on the findings from a mental health risk assessment?

After the assessment, you can develop targeted action plans based on identified risks, such as improving workload management, offering support resources, enhancing communication, or providing training for managers. Follow up with regular check-ins and adjustments to ensure changes make a real difference for staff wellbeing.
