Global Mental Health Support available at Octopus
Looking after our customers is super important, but don’t forget you can’t be there for them unless you’re taking care of your own wellbeing too!
Here at Octopus, we’re all about creating a space where everyone feels genuinely supported and encouraged. We’re working hard to break down the stigma around mental health, make physical activities fun and engaging, ease the stress of daily life, and grow a workplace vibe filled with kindness, understanding, and team spirit.
We want you to feel comfortable opening up about your personal situations to any Team Leader or Manager here. They’re ready to listen, offer advice, and share resources to help you tackle whatever might be on your mind.
Here are some benefits available to everyone, regardless!
Listening Ears: When lockdown hit, we came up with Listening Ears to support our team—and wow, has it grown! It's now a wonderful community where you can chat confidentially about personal or work stuff with a friendly peer. You can pick someone you know or even branch out and talk to someone new from across the business; there are plenty of options!
Check out the details and bios of our Listening Ears here. Once you find the right match, just reach out via or Slack email—whatever works best for you!
