Latest investor benchmark ranks Weir as biggest improver on performance and disclosure on mental health
External recognition of Weir’s commitment to help colleagues achieve positive mental health outcome
Reinforces Weir’s actions to meet its goal of being a zero harm workplace

Weir has been recognised for its commitment to workplace mental health in the latest CCLA Corporate Mental Health benchmark – UK 100, published today.

According to the benchmark, which assesses 100 of the largest listed UK companies on their global approach to workplace mental health, Weir’s performance on practice and disclosure improved the most year-on-year climbing two tiers, from tier 4 in 2022 to tier 2 in the 2023 report.

This improvement in performance reflects our commitment to the mental health and wellbeing of our people and our actions to create a zero harm environment where everyone at Weir can do the best work of their lives.

The link between the workplace and the mental health and wellbeing of its people is becoming clearer and more important, especially right now, with the cost-of-living crisis coming so soon after the Covid-19 pandemic. Workplaces like Weir have a significant opportunity to help people achieve positive mental health outcomes for themselves and those around them. In addition, we know that research shows that workplaces with a culture of wellbeing are more successful, so there are business benefits too.

In the benchmark, companies are ranked across five overall performance tiers to encourage them and investors to think seriously about mental health as a systemic risk, and to develop robust management systems so that companies and their employees can thrive.

Weir’s approach to health and wellbeing

Weir’s ambition is zero harm, where everyone has a safe start, a safe finish and a safe journey home. This extends beyond physical safety, supporting our people to take a holistic approach to their overall health and wellbeing, because we know that the safety, physical and mental health and wellbeing of our employees are intrinsically linked.

We have a Health and Wellbeing strategic framework, launched in 2021, which sets out employee wellbeing priorities. Our framework is driven from the top of our organisation and is delivered locally, tailored to different cultural and workplace needs.
