Taking care of your staff

Our research confirms that a culture of fear and silence around mental health is costly to employers:

More than one in five (21 per cent) agreed that they had called in sick to avoid work when asked how workplace stress had affected them
14 per cent agreed that they had resigned and 42 per cent had considered resigning when asked how workplace stress had affected them
30 per cent of staff disagreed with the statement ‘I would feel able to talk openly with my line manager if I was feeling stressed’
56 per cent of employers said they would like to do more to improve staff wellbeing but don't feel they have the right training or guidance

"Starting a conversation about mental health doesn’t have to be difficult."
