Improving workplace mental health

How can we help you and your business?

Invest in your team

People are the most important part of any business, but we know that some may suffer from burnout, stress, and anxiety at some point, often related to workplace culture and workload. This can lead to long-term sickness and high employee turnover, making it harder for businesses to retain employees. It can also have significant cost implications.

The mental health requirements of employees continue to shift, so evaluating where the gaps exist now in terms of mental health training, diagnosis and treatment for conditions, and the use of data to measure the success of the workplace, can help leaders to prepare and make informed decisions about their workforce’s needs. Every workplace is different.

Addressing employee burnout

Employee burnout often manifests as an increasing lack of enthusiasm and engagement that builds over time in response to job stress. The consequences of burnout may include increased employee absenteeism, lower productivity, and higher turnover, all of which can affect a company's bottom line.

Long-term sickness

Long-term sickness absence and presenteeism has numerous impacts on businesses, both direct and indirect. These include reduction in productivity due to less resources, obligations to pay the salary or sick pay of absent workers, having to find, train and pay for temporary cover and the possibility of reduced customer satisfaction.

Staff retention strategy

Employee retention strategies that create positive impressions and feelings make employees stay in your company, but also boost productivity and promote higher levels of engagement, which ultimately increases revenue. The main goal of any retention strategy is to keep turnover as low as possible, reducing recruitment costs and bridging skill gaps.
