The Growing Importance of Mental Health in the Workplace
A recent Deloitte report revealed the significant financial impact of poor mental health on UK employers, estimating an £51 billion annual cost. Additionally, 46% of working parents have expressed concern about their children’s mental health, contributing to a further £8 billion in lost productivity and absenteeism. With burnout affecting 63% of workers—up from 51% in 2021—businesses are increasingly recognising the need for proactive mental health support.
For employers, the benefits of supporting mental health and wellbeing are clear. According to the Deloitte report, for every £1 spent on mental health initiatives, businesses can expect a £4.70 return in increased productivity.
