Mental Health Foundation Research has shown that 1 in 6 employees experience mental health issues in the workplace.

Yet, in a recent ONS study, mental health illness has doubled in the last year.

This should not be a surprise; we were warned by The World Health Organisation of rising mental health issues and staff absence due to Covid.

We know from our mental health training work with organisations, that there has been increased anxiety, depression and other serious mental health conditions in their workplace over the last twelve months.

Mental health issues have been caused and exacerbated by the pandemic due to isolation, bereavement, financial worries, work related stress and job stability, to name a few.

How are you developing your teams to support each other for better mental health and wellbeing in the workplace?
