Around half of work-related ill health is down to stress, depression or anxiety with each person suffering taking an average of 19.6 days off work a year
Why prioritise good mental health and prevent work-related stress?
- it’s the law
- it’s good for business
- it’s the right thing to do
The law requires all employers to prevent work-related stress and support good mental health in the workplace by doing a risk assessment and acting on it.
Failing to manage stress at work can cost employers in reduced productivity, sickness absence, or even losing a valued member of the team.
