Pros
I just wanted to post about the exceptional support that I've received from my employer during a very difficult period. This summer I was admitted into hospital for an extended period due to a mental health crisis. I was extremely resistant to the idea, particularly as I was so concerned about what impact this may have on my job. Fortunately, my employers have been exemplary in their response from the moment I informed them of the circumstances. I was supported throughout by a single contact in HR who was empathetic, patient and acted in my best interest at all times. I was off work for three months and at no point felt rushed to return to work. I'm now undergoing a gradual return and I can't praise my manager or HR enough for their support. They have been brilliant. Like all organisations, BuroHappold has received criticism on this site but my experience is that when it comes to the health and well-being of their employees, they deserve much praise.
Cons
When it comes to supporting the health and well-being of staff, there are none.
