The real ROI from mental health initiatives

Mental health is at the forefront of many workplace conversations in light of recent global events. Although change and uncertainty have always been present to some degree, recent circumstances have intensified this, along with feelings of isolation and the continual juggling of multiple responsibilities. Therefore, the need for awareness and research-backed education is critical.

Summary

It is estimated that 1 in 6 workers experience issues related to stress, anxiety and depression (NHS, 2016). In a Deloitte study (2020), poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45bn each year. These two stats alone make investing in mental health interventions an essential aspect of your organisational strategy and development.

During this instructor-led webinar, you will gain a better understanding of why mental health awareness at work is more important now than ever. You will learn practical tips on how to start mental health conversations with others whose mental health you are concerned about.
