77% of employees have experienced poor mental health
62% of employees have experienced poor mental health where work was a contributing factor – 24% in the last month alone
Managers underequipped and unsupported to respond to mental health in work
Bosses disconnected from reality of employees’ experiences of mental health*
Following last year's highly successful seminar, you are invited to join us and other industry leaders to stay ahead of the pack, as we discuss and explore how to shift the relationship between organisations and their people. Achieve the finite balance between the individual and the organisation…identify and facilitate the best outcome for both.
“Millions of employees are suffering in silence and feel unable to share their experiences at work. When they do reach out, many are met with an inadequate response,” said Louise Aston, Wellbeing Director at Business in the Community. “Our findings show that we need more openness, more training and information, and more support for employees and managers.
This is why we are asking employers to take three steps – Talk, Train and Take Action.”*
