Training for the Workplace

At any one time 1 in 6 people will be experiencing mental health problems within the workplace1, at an annual cost of almost £35 billion to UK businesses2. Reduced productivity, presenteeism, due to mental health is by far the largest cost to businesses, now costing twice as much as mental health related absenteeism.3

Furthermore, the 2019 BITC (Business in the Community) ‘Mental Health at Work’ Report4 highlights the impact of working practices upon the mental health of employees as a vital consideration, with statistics stating that:

  • 39% of employees experienced poor mental health symptoms related to work in the last year
  • 52% of whom say this is due to workplace pressures such as too many priorities or targets
  • 62% of managers described putting the interests of their organisation above staff wellbeing either sometimes, regularly or every day
  • Only 11% of managers in the UK have received training on understanding workplace stressors
