What are the benefits to my business?
The cost of unmanaged stress and mental health conditions in the workplace was associated with over £74 billion loss to the UK economy last year:
- Over £37 billion in lost output
- Over £33 billion in costs for employers and self employed
- Over £3 billion in cost to the NHS
In addition to the economic loss, poor mental health in the workplace risks your business loosing key expertise, experience and reputation through the loss of skilled employees. Anyone can experience a poor mental health, with 1 in 4 of us experiencing a mental health condition each year. Recent surveys also estimate that 1 in 6 workers right now are experiencing stress, anxiety and depression.
Supporting mental health in the workplace or “workplace wellbeing” is a clear business priority and is linked with a wide range of benefits:
Increased productivity
Increased profitability
Increased staff retention
Better customer service & outcomes
Increased creativity & innovation
Fewer accidents
Reduced absence
Reduced stress
Increased staff motivation
Improved profile
