What Is The Impact Of Mental Illness In The Workplace
Approximately 1 in 4 people in the UK will struggle with mental health each year. Over 15.8 million UK work days are lost on average each year due to mental illness. Our county's workforce's most significant causes of sickness absence are depression, stress, and anxiety. Mental illness costs UK businesses around £35 billion every year; this equates to £10.6 billion lost to sickness absence, £21.2 billion in reduced productivity, and £3.1 billion in substituting staff members who leave their roles due to mental illness.
Ignorance Is Not Always Bliss
Someone with poor mental health may not realise it and even if they do, they may be reluctant to seek help, or might not know where to turn for care.
In the workplace, there is still a great deal of ignorance around mental health issues, including uncertainty about how to recognise mental illness, and uncertainty about how to react when faced with it. This means that those in need of mental health help and support do not receive it.
When left uninformed, managers and co-workers may unwittingly exhibit stigmatising behaviours, which can be detrimental to a person experiencing a mental health issue. By failing to respond appropriately to an employee with a mental health issue, an organisation may open itself to a claim for compensation. This could be lengthy, expensive, and take precious time away from managers and staff.
Be The Difference
We all know that we must look after our employees and undertake a legal duty of care when we start to employ people.
However, we believe at Mash Group that the quality of your business is only as good as the people within it. How they feel, think, and respect who they are working for plays a huge part in the quality of delivered work. Not only that, but it drives commitment too!
When you understand it, you can be confident in managing it. That is the difference!
