World Mental Health Day 2025: Putting People First

Today, Friday 10th October, marks World Mental Health Day – an important reminder to prioritise mental wellbeing in every aspect of our lives, including the workplace.

At Bennett Freehill, our commitment extends beyond technical excellence in sustainability and innovation. We believe that creating healthier spaces starts with supporting the people who design them.

Our people-first approach includes:

  • Fully flexible working policy
  • Private healthcare plan
  • Structured bonus scheme
  • Investment in personal and professional development

This commitment has earned recognition through multiple Irish News Workplace & Employment Awards, including Best Place to Work, Best Employee Development Programme, and Best Wellbeing in the Workplace Strategy, as well as honours at the CIBSE and Belfast Telegraph Business Awards.

We celebrate the everyday wins – from contract awards to personal successes – because we believe sustainable growth starts with sustainable wellbeing.

On this World Mental Health Day, we’re reminded that investing in mental health isn’t just good practice – it’s essential to building thriving teams and better futures.
