As the World Health Organization states – there is no health without mental health.

However, with one in three people saying that work causes them the most stress in life, it’s clear that the workplace – its environment and its culture – can have a major impact on our mental wellbeing, and therefore our overall health. At an organisational level, stress and poor mental health costs UK businesses between £33 billion and £42 billion a year through reduced productivity, high staff turnover and sickness absence.

Conversely, workplaces that promote mental wellbeing and support people with mental illness are more likely to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and benefit from associated economic gains.
