Mentally healthy workplaces
We spend on average more than 60% of our time at work and for many of us work is a very important part of life.
Work not only provides an opportunity to make new friends and enhance our sense of usefulness and belonging, but also provides financial means and security.
With 1 in 3 people now estimated to be affected by mental health problems each year it has never been more important to focus on your employees wellbeing.
Research has shown that 48% of employees do not tell their employers about mental health problems for fear of losing their job.
Feeling supported in the workplace is not only beneficial to your employees but can be beneficial for your business and your bottom line.
Why should workplaces take mental health seriously?
There are many benefits to supporting your employees mental health and wellbeing such as:
- Increasing productivity and improving profitability
- Reducing absenteeism and presenteeism
- Retaining a happy, motivated and engaged workforce
There is strong evidence to suggest that workplaces with high levels of mental wellbeing perform better.
Employee expectations of employers and workplace culture are changing too. Research has shown that individuals are increasingly looking for workplaces where their employer actively supports their wellbeing.
Businesses who take this seriously not only retain good employees, but attract talented individuals to their business.
