Last week marked World Mental Health Day (10 October). It’s a welcome way to raise awareness – even so, the reality for those facing mental health challenges is that it matters every day.
Professional driving can be tough on mental health – a lifestyle where people may be alone for much of the day and maintaining a healthy diet and regular exercise can be difficult.
As the UK’s leading logistics recruiter, we know that while daily vehicle checks are routine, mental health checks often aren’t. Our resource page offers practical tips to support driver wellbeing, including:
• Recognising signs of stress and anxiety
• Taking regular breaks and socialising
• Staying active and hydrated
• Encouraging open conversations to reduce stigma
Driver Hire also created a poster for display in transport offices. Call your local office for a printed copy.
Let’s keep the conversation going.
