Stress, anxiety and depression are the number one reasons for work related illness in the UK and is on the rise.

Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, the law requires all employers to prevent work related stress to support good mental health in the workplace.

Statistics published by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), covering the 2021/22 period, show of the 1.8 million workers suffering from a work-related illness, 914,000 were stress, depression or anxiety. Over half of working days are lost due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety (17 million).

A report by Deloitte estimates that the total annual cost of poor mental health to employers has increased by 25% since 2019, costing UK employers up to £56 billion a year.

The Working Minds campaign brings together a range of tools and support to help businesses and workers understand the best ways to prevent work related stress and encourage good mental health.

Together with our partners we are inviting business and organisations across the nation to support our campaign and become Working Minds Champions.
