How can HR lift workplace stigma regarding mental health?

With mental health topping the workplace agenda, it is not surprising that over a third of professionals now feel more comfortable talking to their manager about their personal problems than they have done in the past.

That is according to healthcare insurance provider, Bupa, whose Wellbeing Study found that employees also thought that attitudes toward mental health conditions have improved.

Now, three out of 10 believe that mental health conditions are far less taboo than they were 10 years ago, which suggests that HR departments and businesses are improving when it comes to managing struggling employees.

However, Beth Robotham, Head of Business Development at Bupa UK, believes that more needs to be done to create a truly supportive workplace.
