Background
There can be very few HR and Occupational Health professionals that have not heard of the expression ‘stress is the new back ache’, yet terms such as this can often cause organisations to overlook stress and mental health problems, which can have very real implications for organisations. Though these may not be the easiest problems to quantify, their effect can be seen in
everything from engagement through to absence. Increasing the pressure to develop strategies to tackle stress and mental health in a supportive and proactive manner is therefore essential to the organisation’s bottom line.
According to Carol Black’s Review of the health of Britain’s
working age population, around five million people of the
working age in the UK are currently suffering from a mental
health disorder, leading to the loss of millions of pounds in
productivity and weeks worth of attendance for many
organisations every year. With so much at risk, what can you do to protect your organisation?
The 5th Annual Stress and Mental Health in the Workplace event will give you the chance to hear first hand accounts on the strategies that really work, from organisations that are leading the way in stress and mental health, including Rolls Royce, Transport for London and GlaxoSmithKline. We will give you tools to create a strategy that will encourage your employees to take responsibility for their own mental health, gain the maximum return on investment and ultimately develop a programme that fits the unique needs of your organisation.
