At Prolific, we strive to support the well-being of all our employees and we try to optimise both mental and physical health so that our employees have a more well-rounded and happier lifestyle.
We know that sometimes life events can arise and this can result in someone's physical or mental health deteriorating for weeks or months at a time.
Our mental & physical well-being policy should encourage employees to feel comfortable talking about their well-being and discussing what issues they are facing. The policy also holds us accountable for making sure that good well-being ways of working are embedded within our culture.
Often, talking about our mental health is more uncomfortable than talking about our physical health but 1 in 4 of us will experience a mental health issue every year and 17% of us are living with a serious mental health issue 🤕
When dealing with any mental or physical health concerns, Prolific will make sure to:
