HSBC Malta is the first large corporate in Malta to be recognised for creating a climate of openness and support for mental health among employees.

The bank, received the Gold certificate by Richmond Foundation, for being a ‘Mental Health First Aid Trained Workplace’, having trained at least 10% of its workforce in mental health first aid.

Richmond CEO Stephania Dimech Sant said: “HSBC was the first corporate entity in Malta to offer the Richmond Foundation’s Staff and Organisation Support programme. This goes to show the extent to which it has always appreciated the well-being of its employees, making it a model employer.”

The bank has worked with the Richmond Foundation for over 16 years to ensure that all its employees have access to advice and professional assistance on managing mental health. The Gold certificate was presented to HSBC Malta on World Mental Health Day earlier in October.

HSBC Malta head of human resources Caroline Buhagiar Klass said the bank aspired to have a workforce that developed its full potential translating into a high performing and customer centric organisation.
