John West & Candlefox | HR leaders reveal how they are supporting staff mental health

The topic of employee mental health has been thrown into the spotlight once again in line with Mental Health Awareness Week which is taking place between May 10-16, 2021.

It is an annual event that acts as an opportunity for the UK to focus on achieving good mental health, which could apply to both personal and professional life.

And data has shown the impact that the coronavirus crisis has had on employee mental health in the pandemic year.

Close Brothers’ Expecting the unexpected: a spotlight on preparing for a crisis report found that more than half (51%) of employees have experienced an increase in worries relating to their mental health due to the pandemic.
