Managing mental health in your business<\/h1>\n

According to mental health charity MIND one in three of the UK workforce has been formally diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point in their lifetime.<\/p>\n

Relationship breakdowns, financial worries, grief, and many other issues can be the trigger.<\/p>\n

Poor mental health is not always obvious. Although conversations around mental health are now becoming more commonplace in society, a stigma remains leaving some people opting to suffer in silence.<\/p>\n

Ongoing issues left unsupported can result in increased absences from work, leading to financial losses for a business and extra strain placed on those covering for absent colleagues.<\/p>\n

Your legal obligation<\/span><\/h3>\n

Employers have a legal obligation to ensure the health, safety, and well-being of their staff. Failing to adequately address mental ill-health in your business can lead to a disability discrimination claim, which can result in a damaging employment tribunal.<\/p>\n

But even more important than this is the fact that happy and healthy staff are more productive.<\/p>\n
