Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace

5th March 2020, London | 16th July 2020, Manchester

Mental ill health is estimated to cost the UK economy between £90-100bn per year. With mental health issues affecting one in four adults in the UK and 1 in 6 people experiencing a common mental health problem in the last week alone, the implications for businesses are indisputable. Mental health is the third most significant cause of sick leave in UK workplaces, with wide ramifications for employee engagement and staff turnover.

Steps must be taken to support staff and counteract loss of productivity. The Mental Health Foundation estimates that policies addressing wellbeing at work increase productivity by as much as 12%. These policies are often simple, related to removing stigma, encouraging open conversations, and ensuring that mental health is a workplace priority.
