Research has shown that approx 50,000 employees are suffering from work related stress resulting in 6.5 million sick days per year.
The impact of stress adversely affects productivity and staff retention. With the growing awareness around mental health and the government’s recent commitment to make sure there is “parity” of care with physical health care, it is now widely acknowledged that investing in your employee’s well-being is a key component to a positive working environment and sustainable organisational success.
