Worsley-Based Leasing Options Announces Mental Health First Aider

It’s considered that almost 25 per cent of people working within the automotive industry suffer with mental health issues. 

 

Worsley-based Leasing Options, the UK’s leading car leasing company, is working to support its colleagues and help look after their mental health wellbeing by enlisting its first mental health first aid officer. 

 

Josh Ashton, from Horwich, a mental health first aider, is on hand to all the team at Leasing Options to provide a safe place to talk about any challenges they are experiencing and will sign post to relevant sources to secure additional support. 

 

Also, Josh uses his training to observe behaviours and proactively identify and approach colleagues that maybe struggling but not feel able to seek the help they need. 

 

Mike Thompson, COO of Leasing Options, said: “Covid has had a huge impact on everyone in so many ways, so as we are now in the new chapter of ‘living with Covid’, we want to make sure that we support our colleagues in adjusting to the ‘new normal’ and provide support for any staff who find elements of life, post-lockdown, challenging.

 

“We’re committed to supporting our colleagues and their mental health and are demonstrating this by securing Josh’s role as mental health first aid officer within Leasing Options.”

 

The introduction of this role is the latest initiative implemented by Leasing Options after the company teamed up with LifeWorks, a Total Well-being Solution, to provide advice and support on a variety of issues including coping with change, future proofing finances and tips to deal with worry and anxiety.

 

Mike added: “Our priority is making sure our colleagues know that we understand how they feel and are here for them and want to help, anyway we can”.
