Inclusion doesn’t stop at recruitment, and one of the most underused but powerful tools for building a mentally healthy and inclusive workplace is the post-job offer health questionnaire.
For UK SMEs committed to creating supportive environments, this simple document can open up life-changing conversations — before your new hire even steps through the door.
At SleekHR, we’ve created a free, customisable template that helps small businesses proactively support mental health and comply with their legal responsibilities under the Equality Act 2010.
Why Does This Matter?
Identify reasonable adjustments early, from flexible hours to phased onboarding
Build trust by showing new hires that wellbeing is a priority
Enable early support for mental health challenges like anxiety or burnout
Fulfil your duty to create a discrimination-free workplace
Mental health support shouldn’t wait until there’s a problem. A well-designed questionnaire encourages open, stigma-free conversations from the start especially when it’s accessible, confidential, and conversational.
What to Include:
-
General wellbeing check-ins
-
Space for requesting adjustments or preferred communication styles
-
Questions about past support needs — without pressuring disclosure
-
Clear explanation of confidentiality and next steps
Mental Health Awareness Week is the perfect time to rethink how you onboard. This isn’t about ticking boxes, it’s about creating a workplace culture where people feel safe, seen, and supported from Day One.
