Mental ill health affects the productivity of those in work by impairing their ability to function at full capacity and it causes about 40% of all days lost through sickness absence (Sainsbury Centre for Mental Health, 2007).  Investing in mental health will reap measurable rewards.

Our courses are designed to provide you with the skills and knowledge you need to provide appropriate and effective support in your place of work.

Who’s Responsible for Looking After Employee Wellbeing in Your Workplace?

The Employer

The employer is ultimately responsible. Preventing and reducing workplace stress requires organisational level interventions, i.e. structural changes and these need to start at the top. For instance, with provision of adequate support and resources.

Management

Under health and safety law, managers have a duty to identify and manage stress in the workplace. Addressing sources of stress, such as workload and conflict is key in helping to reduce stress and thus increase productivity amongst employees.

FAQ

Under UK health and safety law, managers have a duty to identify and manage stress at work.  Addressing all areas of stress in your workplace is key in reducing staff levels of stress.

Bullying and harassment is behaviour that makes someone feel intimidated or offended. Harassment is unlawful under the Equality Act 2010.

Bullying itself is not against the law, but harassment is. This is when the unwanted behaviour is related to one of the following:

  • age
  • sex
  • disability
  • gender reassignment
  • marriage and civil partnership
  • pregnancy and maternity
  • race
  • religion or belief
  • sexual orientation

Your mental health plays a huge role in your general well-being. People with mental health problems are more likely to develop physical health problems and vice versa. Being in a good mental state can keep you healthy and help prevent serious health conditions. It is widely accepted that positive psychological well-being can reduce the risks of heart attacks and strokes, whereas poor mental health can lead to many chronic illnesses including diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular disease and arthritis.

If you are struggling with a mental health issue, you might find you have an inability to function productively, to concentrate or to perform your usual daily tasks. Handling pressure or meeting deadlines can become more difficult. You may also find your usual interactions with work colleagues are a challenge.
