ISLE OF MAN – Microgaming is working with The Lisa Lowe Centre to deliver vital mental health awareness training to staff as part of the company’s Employer Pledge with Time to Change.

Signed on October 2017, Microgaming’s Employer Pledge with Time to Change, a campaign that aims to end mental health discrimination, outlined a series of commitments by the company to creating a happier, healthier workplace, from raising awareness of mental health across the business to introducing fully trained mental health first aiders.

Continuing to strengthen its pledge, Microgaming is working with The Lisa Lowe Centre to deliver bespoke wellbeing and mental health awareness training to Microgaming and Derivco line managers. The island-based charity has been running the workshops to train managers on how to recognise the signs and symptoms of mental health issues, in addition to providing them with practical strategies to support their team members and colleagues.

Alongside the awareness training, Microgaming and Derivco staff will have access to mental health sessions over the next few months. The sessions will focus on mental health disorder awareness, common stressors and coping tools, with the aim to erase the stigma around mental health.
