Mental Health Awareness Week | Mental health transparency at work is on the rise

A new survey of 8,000 UK adults has highlighted an increase in mental health transparency in the workplace.

The study, published to coincide with Mental Health Awareness Week 2023 (May 15-21), found 35% of UK employees said they called in sick due to poor mental health but gave another reason. While this is a significant percentage, it is lower than the findings from Nuffield Health’s 2022 report, with the percentage previously being 39%.
