There is a widening gap between the support that workers need for their mental and physical health and the offerings available from their employer, a recent report shows.
With a £19.5 billion impact on lost productivity (2023) due to mental health related absences, employers are being urged to invest in programs to address the health and wellbeing of their employees.
The key element that may be missing is the communication of the help available to employees in a clear and concise way; making it easier to engage with health and wellbeing services that are provided and addressing any concerns they may have about privacy and accessibility.
