This Stress Awareness Month, Hospitality Action encourages the industry to seize the opportunity to spring clean its approach to team wellbeing and employment practices for the year ahead.
Hospitality Action encourages the industry to spring clean its approach to team wellbeing in 2024
With one in five employees in hospitality concerned that their mental health problems could impact their position within the company*, and two-thirds feeling that their mental health at work has worsened in recent years, it is more important than ever to implement holistic policies and practices that support employee wellbeing which in turn improve absenteeism, productivity and retention.
In addition, providing opportunities for employees to give back by participating in meaningful causes is equally as important as it boosts morale and a sense of purpose, leading to shared unity and camaraderie among team members.
Walk for Wellbeing, powered by mum, is back for a fifth year this autumn. One of the charity’s most important, fun and flexible fundraisers invites the entire industry across the UK to unite in raising crucial funds to support individuals and their families in the hospitality sector facing challenging times. The walk encourages employers to champion better wellbeing by getting the team outdoors to raise money and spend time together.
Eight nationwide 20km hosted walks will take place on Sunday 13 October. Those who can’t make that date can ‘Walk It Your Way' at a location of their choice any time between World Mental Health Day on 10 October to 27 October. More info and register here for Walk for Wellbeing below.

Also returning for a fifth year, the Summer Challenge, sponsored by CH&CO, invites the industry to show off their sporting prowess in whatever form that may take. Walking, running, cycling, wheeling or swimming, the ultimate objective is to collectively travel 40,000 miles between 7 - 17 June to make a positive difference to those in crisis within the hospitality industry.
