Mental Health in the Workplace

Mental Health at Work

Your colleagues' mental health affects their performance and satisfaction.

It is a significant and often unrecognised risk for all organisations.

Many organisations are increasingly realising that they have only scratched the surface with wellbeing programmes that offer EAP and relaxation.

Your organisation's obligations to support psychological health and safety go all the way to working with potentially undiagnosed medical conditions.

With the right approach, support and resources, you can help your organisation and colleagues to manage that risk.

We can provide you with the advice and resources that you need, to help your organisation manage staff mental health and wellbeing in the workplace more effectively.

We can help you with the management and operational controls for better psychological health and safety at work.

• 300,000 people to lose their jobs as a result.
• Mental health issues cost employers up to £42 billion, with a total impact on the UK economy up to £99 billion.
• At least 45% of sick leave is directly related to stress.
• 25% of people experience a mental health problem.
