The challenge facing employers

Many employees are experiencing high levels of stress and poor mental health and common mental health conditions such as depression and anxiety have increased significantly.

With increasing pressure on mental health, many businesses are now concerned about how best to support their managers and staff.  Many aren’t sure how to have conversations about mental health. Some are worried about getting it wrong, the legal implications and the impact on their reputation and bottom line.

The cost of poor mental health

Poor mental health cost employers an estimated total of £53-56 billion annually, an increase of 25% since 2019.  Poor mental health at work is categorised as:

  • absenteeism
  • presenteeism (attending work while ill resulting in reduced productivity) and
  • labour turnover.

Presenteeism continues to be the greatest of these costs.  However, the overall increase in the cost of poor mental health is attributed to higher turnover.

I think the approach is very clear and it will definitely help me and the company I work for to understand how we can most appropriately support people.

It has also helped me to recognise and understand behaviours to increase my awareness and response to MH.”

I work in the field of oncology which can be quite draining for practitioners. MHFA will strengthen and help me to lend a hand to colleagues in those upsetting times.”
  • “I really enjoyed the training delivered by Esther at Thrive and Well. Esther is an amazing trainer and facilitator. Her sessions are really interactive and hands-on. She has a talent to get participants to talk about topics that are tough and challenging and often avoided in our daily lives – however Esther manages to bring the best insight out of every participant and facilitate sincere and open discussions. Esther’s sessions helped me to learn and really enhance my active listening skills, understand how to help prevent a suicide, as well as gain the skills of mental health first aider. I highly recommend Esther’s training to any individual or organisation that is thinking of developing these skills for themselves and/or their staff.”
