Mental Health in the Workplace
Stress and anxiety is rising in the workplace and employees aren’t always asking for help. Businesses do their best to help with these issues but often don’t have the time or the skills needed to be effective. Once emotional wellbeing is impacted, job performance is affected. Stress, depression and anxiety led to 12.8 million working days lost last year in the U.K. The 2018/19 Labour Force Survey also revealed 602,000 workers suffered from the condition and an average of 21.2 days were lost per business. However, it is well known that these figures are hugely under reported.
Learning ways to develop resilience is so important for good mental and physical health. It enables each of us to develop protection against experiences which could be overwhelming. It helps us maintain balance during difficult and stressful periods and essentially is the mental reservoir of strength that people are able to call on in times of need to carry them through without falling apart.
The good news is that people are very capable of learning the skills that it takes to become more resilient.
