Stress, depression or anxiety already account for around half of work-related illness in the UK and the cost of poor mental health to employers has increased by 25% since 2019.
HSE’s statistics show that 822,000 workers suffered from stress, depression and anxiety in 2020/21.
While some stressors are not work-related, employers play a crucial role in helping people stay well and working by not adding to or aggravating issues.
Project lead at Lifelines Scotland, Gill Moreton, says: "We spend a lot of time at work, and the good news is, that good work is good for us. As well as providing us with the income to support our families and our loved ones, good work also gives us a sense of purpose, of self-esteem and social support with our colleagues.
"We can’t protect people from the outside world, but we can create a work environment that promotes good mental health. Research tells us that supportive management, supportive teams work as really effective buffers for people.”
