Let's talk about mental health

With one in four of us experiencing a mental health issue in any given year¹, it’s not a subject we can afford to shy away from. While there has undoubtedly been a great deal of media interest and conversation around mental health in recent years, many employers often struggle to tackle the issue head-on.

 However, it could not be more essential for companies to make a concerted effort to safeguard the mental health of their employees, given that around 560,000 workers suffer from work-related stress, anxiety or depression, according to the Health and Safety Executive.²

 Of course, for many CEOs and HR teams, mental health can seem a real minefield. It’s true that it’s an area that should be approached with caution; however, taking the initiative to learn about mental health in the workplace is the first step.
