Why is workplace wellbeing important?
With 1 in 6 workers right now experiencing stress, anxiety or depression, supporting mental health and wellbeing in the workplace is everyone’s business. Research from Mind confirms that, on average, poor mental health in the workplace costs between £1,205 and £1,560 per employee with 12.5 million working days lost due to stress, anxiety and depression.
You can reduce these costs for your business, increase productivity and reduce staff turnover by working with Lancashire Mind to equip your managers and wider staff team with increased awareness of mental health and the tools you need to not only prevent poor mental health but to provide people with a workplace that contributes positively to their mental health.
