The Mentally Flourishing Workplaces Framework is a free framework for any organisation, regardless of size or sector, designed to help you create a mentally flourishing workplace for all employees.
Mentally Flourishing Workplaces (MFW) is the result of a collaborative development. Public Health Scotland worked with a range of organisations from across Scotland, ensuring the framework reflects real-world experiences and needs.
This co-production approach ensures that MFW is built on shared knowledge and practical guidance.
Knowing where to start in supporting employee mental health can be overwhelming.
MFW has a series of dimensions with recommended approaches, not requirements, to help organisations tailor their own journey, to focus on the human side of mental health and wellbeing and build from there.
You don’t have to do everything at once. Small steps can lead to big changes. MFW supports organisations in:
- shaping wellbeing strategies
- setting priorities and objectives
- taking a proactive and preventative approach to mental health
Supporting mental wellbeing is an ongoing process.
MFW is designed for continuous improvement, allowing you to implement changes at a pace that suits your organisation.
There's no fixed endpoint, just a commitment to making steady, meaningful progress and impact.
