Coaching Inn Group invests in mental health training for all senior managers

All general managers, head chefs and senior managers at the Lincolnshire-based Coaching Inn Group have now received certified mental health training after the operator invested in support for the team.

With help from Hospitality Action, CIC and Mind, more than 40 members of the management team across the company’s 18 inns have received training, which included increasing the number of mental health first aiders.

A further 120 team members from across the estate also attended mental health workshops in March promoting wellbeing during lockdown.

Coaching Inn Group's head of HR Chris Moores (pictured) said: “The lockdown has been really tough for everyone, not least those in the hospitality sector who have faced extreme uncertainty. We put our people at the heart of our core business principles and making sure that we have mental health support available at each of our inns reaffirms our commitment to support our people.”
