Cost to the UK economy ...
Workplace mental health problems cost the UK economy over £26 billion a year through lost working days, staff turnover and lower productivity, with 3 in 4 employees having experienced symptoms of poor mental health, according to the Business in the Community Mental Health at Work Report 2016. Yet we still find it so difficult to start a simple conversation to ask someone how they are.
Ask a colleague if they fancy a walk around the block, you can always start to talk about work and see where you go. Give everyone who comes to speak to you today, time, stop doing the job you where doing really listen - remember how fantastic it can feel when someone gives you their undivided attention.
