Addressing the workplace mental wellbeing crisis:
A guide for business leaders
Employee mental health is the new normal
Employee mental ill health was already a global crisis before 2020, costing UK employers around £45 billion a year. Then, COVID-19 hit.
The dramatic shifts in our personal and professional lives have exacerbated existing problems as well as shining a fresh spotlight on the importance of taking a modern, proactive approach to employee wellbeing.
These challenges don’t end when the pandemic does. The effects of COVID-19 will be long-lasting, as highlighted in our most recent e-book. Our key findings include:
- Up to 10 million people in the UK will need mental health support as a consequence of COVID-19
- Suicidal ideation tripled in the first six months of lockdown
- Only 31% of employers are offering services to help employees experiencing feelings of isolation, anxiety and depression as a result of the pandemic
- Traditional solutions have low-to-negative ROI
But there might be a better way. Download our e-book to find out more.
