Supporting your employees

Businesses are built on their people, so taking care of employees helps individuals and organisations thrive. If people are suffering from stress, anxiety or burnout, they can’t fully enjoy their jobs, fulfil their potential or balance work with their personal lives. And this means your business can’t flourish. Employee productivity suffers, both short and long-term sickness and employee turnover might rise, all of which affects long-term success and sustainability. In fact, studies show that mental health absenteeism and presenteeism cost the UK economy £23.5 billion a year.

That’s why creating a supportive work environment is an investment not just in your team, but also your business.

Sometimes individuals and teams require specialist care. That’s why we offer expert assessments and treatments for serious and complex mental health problems associated with the workplace.

What this means for your business

As an employer, you have an ethical and legal responsibility to look after your team’s wellbeing, but addressing corporate mental wellness also makes practical business sense. Healthier employees are more productive. Addressing mental health issues can prevent periods of absence and presenteeism, leading to more consistent and efficient work outputs.

Employee engagement

While investing in mental health interventions has upfront costs, these are outweighed by long-term savings. Businesses that proactively manage workplace mental health see a reduction in recruitment costs and indirect costs associated with lost productivity. Offering robust support for mental health can help attract top talent and build a positive employer brand.

Sickness

Employee absenteeism disrupts business continuity, generates additional costs and takes employees away from their day-to-day job as they must manage the absence and train temporary workers. When valued team members are away for any period of time, pressure on other staff increases, projects are delayed and the service offered to customers or clients is likely to be impacted.

Presenteeism

In many cases, people suffering with mental health concerns continue to be physically present at work while finding it difficult to perform to their full potential. They may have trouble concentrating, take longer to complete routine tasks or produce lower-quality work. Presenteeism quietly drains team morale, while errors and delays lead to missed deadlines and reputational damage.

High staff turnover

High levels of turnover leave teams stuck in a time-consuming cycle of recruitment, onboarding and training which increases costs to employers and reduces overall productivity. Individual happiness also suffers when people struggle to feel part of a supportive, cohesive team where they have the opportunity to gain long-term skills, build their knowledge and increase their creativity.

Common workplace mental health challenges

Understanding the mental health issues workers face is the first step in creating effective support strategies.

Stress

While some pressure is motivating, too much can trigger workplace stress. This causes low mood and irritability and could affect concentration or decision-making. If unaddressed, occupational stress can give rise to decreased productivity, increased absenteeism and long-term health problems.

Anxiety

Work-related anxiety goes beyond normal levels of worry and often leaves individuals reluctant to speak in meetings, avoiding certain tasks or unable to switch off when they get home. When anxiety escalates, these team members might feel they need extended periods off work or to leave altogether.

Burnout

Burnt-out employees feel overwhelmed, empty or drained, so they find it impossible to engage or feel a sense of accomplishment despite their continued hard work. Burnout erodes corporate culture and productivity while increasing absenteeism, presenteeism and staff turnover.

Depression

Depression causes individuals to feel low, empty, tired and demotivated. They may have negative thoughts about themselves and the work environment, causing them to withdraw from colleagues or take short and long periods of time off, which often affects wider team dynamics and efficiency.
