Proactive mental wellbeing strategies: Good for people, good for business!

What we do

Mental health is part of all of us just like physical health. Mental health moves up and down along a range from good to poor similar to physical health. Considering how much time we spend at work, it’s not surprising that workplace environments and culture affect our well-being.

Just like brushing your teeth, mental wellbeing must be addressed on an ongoing basis and consistently.

What happens if organisations value the mental well-being of their people?

There is significant evidence to suggest that organisations that prioritise mental well-being have an unfair advantage. Here in the UK, FTSE 100 companies that prioritise employee well-being, outperform the rest of the FTSE 100 by 10%. The evidence is overwhelmingly clear. Proactively addressing mental well-being will increase an organisation’s performance. On the other hand, not addressing the issue of mental well-being costs organisations.

What happens if mental wellbeing is not considered:

The biggest asset an organisation can have is the human mind. Poor mental health among the workforce imposes tremendous costs on employers.

  • Poor mental health costs UK employers annually up to £45 billion.
  • 16% rise in mental health issues since 2016, adds up to an additional £6 billion annually for UK employers.
  • One in six people report experiencing a common mental health problem in any given week.

What happens if organisations are proactive in promoting mental well-being?

Proactive mental wellbeing actions from organizations produce a higher return on investment than reactive measures. The return is higher when addressed proactively rather than being reactive to mental health problems.
