Employee
Given that employees spend half of their waking hours in the workplace, employers have a unique opportunity (and, arguably, duty of care) to make things better.
1:6 UK working adults per week experience poor mental health
7.8% UK population meet clinical diagnosis for anxiety/depression
70-75% go untreated and only 10% seek support
You can’t take responsibility for people’s health but with the right environment you can empower them to ask for help, access care, and get healthy so that mental illness is no longer a barrier to their success.
Talented people are seeking out employers that go beyond a tick box exercise: employers who will invest in taking their health and wellbeing seriously and who empower culture change.
