On Tuesday 14th September 1MM Co-founder and CEO, Alveena Malik, spoke at The Charlie Waller Trust’s Mental Health at Work conference on the Workforce of the Future Panel. Alveena spoke about the impact of the pandemic on young people’s mental health; the need for employers to invest in mentoring to support young people’s wellbeing, retention and progression; and the benefits of being a mentor for staff, including increased wellbeing and productivity.

According to The Deloitte Global 2021 Millennial and Gen Z Survey, about a third of all respondents said they’ve taken time off work due to stress and anxiety since the start of the pandemic. A mentor can help by providing valuable 1:1 guidance and support with anything from building confidence and resilience, to developing a skill, or growing a network.
