It is not just concern for business growth, however, that should drive you towards creating a ‘well’ workplace, the law also places a responsibility on employers to reduce and where possible prevent work related stress impacting on the health of their employees. It takes staff who are engaged, motivated, supported and ‘well’ to really grow a business. Good leaders know full well that for efficiency, customer satisfaction and cost effectiveness, it takes much more than having staff who simply turn up. You may also want to consider that the latest CIPD and Simply Health, ‘Health and well-being at work’ survey which reports that presenteeism has reached a record high in the UK. You might want to consider those figures before concluding that there is no time for taking part in this years Mental Health Awareness week. In addition, nearly 40% of all incapacity benefit at work is due to the common mental disorders of depression,Īnxiety and stress, now the leading causes of sickness absence and driver of presenteeism. The UK Government’s Foresight report on mental capital and well-being highlighted the costs of over £100 billion for mental ill-health in the UK, and £27 billion to UK plc in terms of sickness absence, presenteeism and regrettable labour turnover. According to the CIPD Health and well-being agenda report (2016): This years focus is on Stress and considering that health and well being at work is one of the most important HR issues of our time, what better opportunity to kick start your own well-being at work initiatives. Mental Health Awareness week is fast approaching and will run from the 14th to the 20th of May 2018.
