Abstract
This paper examines the value of participatory approaches
within interventions aimed at promoting mental health
and wellbeing in the workplace. Specifically the paper
explores data from the thematic evaluation of the Mental
Health and Employment project strand within the
Altogether Better programme being implemented in
England in the Yorkshire and Humber region, which was
funded through the BIG Lottery and aimed to empower
people across the region to lead better lives. The evaluation
combined a systematic evidence review with semi-structured interviews across mental health and employment
projects. Drawing on both evaluation elements, the paper
examines the potential of workplace-based ‘business
champions’ to facilitate organizational culture change
within enterprises within a deprived regional socio-economic environment.
