What you told us about: Blueprint Release 1

Thank you to everyone who provided feedback on Release 1 of the Blueprint for Mentally Healthy Workplaces.

We heard positive feedback on the Blueprint including:

Presenting complex ideas related to mental health and wellbeing in a format that was approachable and easy to understand.  
Using graphic design and illustration as a powerful tool for engaging readers and communicating complex concepts.  
Adopting a focus that extended beyond the traditional “mental illness lens” to consider the broader nature of mentally healthy workplaces.

We also heard some areas for improvement including:

The difference between legislated requirements and aspirational aspects of mentally healthy workplaces could be more clearly differentiated. 
Orient organisations to start with their legislated requirements first rather than necessarily suggesting the three pillars are of equal importance or relevance. 
Go further in capturing the complex systems-level approach to creating mentally healthy workplaces – representing the layers of factors that shape workplaces (e.g. policy, funding, legislation, industry-level groups).
