Mental ill health is now the most common cause of workplace sickness absence in the UK, costing employers billions of pounds every year in reduced productivity, poor service and recruitment costs. VinciWorks’ series of mental health training films look at the impact of poor mental health at work and explain why staff mental well-being should be a top priority for organisations across all sectors.
Mental health problems among staff pose a growing risk to employers. Yet the stigma attached to mental health still persists in many of today’s workplaces and a lot of employers are unaware of the extent of the problem and how to tackle it – meaning that employees are not getting the help and support that they need and organisations are suffering as a result.
“There are probably 3 main reasons around mental health at work and why it’s important. First and foremost, there’s an ethical and a moral reason. It’s the right thing to do for our people. Secondly there are legal reasons. You have a duty of care to your employees that includes their mental health. And thirdly, increasingly, there is a very strong commercial and business case.”
Gordon Tinline
