General NewsAs we recognise Mental Health Awareness Month this May, it's more important than ever to reflect on the role that work, and the journey back into work, can play in someone’s wellbeing.
At Busy Bee Recruitment, we meet people every day at different stages of their personal and professional journey. For some, that journey includes navigating the complex and often overwhelming challenges of mental health. Whether it's anxiety after a long period away from work, the emotional strain of job loss, or the stress of balancing home life with career demands, we understand that mental health and employment are deeply connected.
For many people, work offers more than just a pay cheque, it provides structure, purpose, and social connection. Having a daily routine, achievable goals, and a sense of progress can have a hugely positive impact on mental wellbeing. But returning to work after a period of poor mental health, illness, or unemployment isn’t always easy.
That’s where the right support makes all the difference.
As recruiters, we have a responsibility to ensure that our approach is not just about filling roles, but about empowering individuals. This means:
We’ve seen firsthand how the right job can help rebuild confidence, reignite ambition, and support mental recovery.
Mental health awareness isn’t just for candidates, employers play a vital role, too. We actively work with organisations to encourage open conversations, promote wellbeing in the workplace, and develop policies that support those who may be struggling silently.
A mentally healthy workplace is one where people feel safe, supported, and able to thrive, and that starts with awareness, empathy, and action.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, we want to remind everyone, candidates, employers, and colleagues alike, that it’s okay not to be okay. Seeking help is a strength, not a weakness, and getting back into work after a period away is a journey that deserves patience and support.
If you or someone you know is ready to take that next step, our team is here to help with compassion, understanding, and practical guidance.
Let’s continue the conversation and build a working world that supports mental wellbeing - not just in May, but every month of the year.

The warehousing and manufacturing sectors have undergone significant transformation in recent years, driven in large part by the relentless rise of e-commerce. As consumers continue to favour online shopping over the high street, labour demand across logistics and warehouse operations has grown dramatically, putting increasing pressure on staffing and recruitment strategies.
General News
As the warmer months approach, businesses across the UK—particularly in manufacturing, engineering, logistics, and customer service—begin to feel the pressure of increased seasonal demand. From production spikes to covering staff holidays, the summer period brings unique challenges that require quick, flexible staffing solutions. That’s where temporary workers become an invaluable asset—and where partnering with a recruitment agency like Busy Bee Recruitment can make all the difference.

April is Stress Awareness Month – a timely reminder to prioritise mental wellbeing at work. At Busy Bee Recruitment, we work with employers across the manufacturing, engineering, and professional sectors who are navigating the realities of workforce wellbeing every day. One conversation we’ve seen rise to the surface this April is the topic of mental health breaks – and whether they’re a realistic solution or just a nice idea on paper.
