Employment Issues - Time to Challenge

The aims of Time to Challenge are:

• to raise awareness amongst employers, employees and job seekers
• to take on legal test cases to fight for everyone to be treated fairly, not only in employment, but in all situations covered by the Disability Discrimination Act.

With the right help, people experiencing mental health problems can, and do, stay at work

Sofia, a call centre worker, says:
"My manager went above and beyond their legal responsibilities. She treated me like a person, not just ticking boxes, not just from a business aspect but from a human aspect as well."

Good management of employees' physical and mental health can bring:

• greater staff engagement
• staff loyalty
• reduced sickness absence
• reduced staff turnover.

Time to Challenge can offer support to those who feel they have been discriminated against due to a mental health problem either at work or when looking for work. Get in touch to find out if we can help with your case: legalunit@mind.org.uk
