The HSE estimates that 1 in 4 people in the UK will suffer from a mental health problem at some point in their life. With that being said, it’s possible that you may have employees who experience mental health difficulties.
Symptoms of mental health conditions and stress are very similar and often go hand in hand. Stress can worsen existing mental health problems, making them even harder to control.
The good news is that you can help manage and prevent stress by improving working conditions. Making simple adjustments can improve your employees’ wellbeing, lowering absenteeism and associated costs as a result. The benefits of a healthy workforce can be invaluable, which is why wellbeing is a priority for most employers these days.
