Mindful Employer" initiative, which aims to foster and promote positive attitudes to mental ill health across the UK and to support employers with the recruitment and retention of staff. The Mindful Employer initiative is administered by a team of mental health and employment professionals within the Trust. The initiative is now operated nationally, and promotes Mindful Employer Charter, a "Charter for Employers who are Positive about Mental Health". In 2014, then-
Minister of State Norman Lamb referred to the initiative as "less well known" than Devon's
English Riviera and
Dartmoor, but nevertheless "hugely popular". At that time more than 1200 employers had signed up to the initiative, and he noted that the idea had been adopted in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. ==Performance==
