Prioritising workplace wellbeing in 2025

As we step into 2024, there’s no better time to focus on workplace wellbeing. Mental health isn’t just a personal concern, it’s a business priority. Research from the Mental Health Foundation reveals that nearly 60% of employees in the UK experience work-related stress, leading to burnout, reduced productivity, and higher turnover rates.

Supporting mental health in the workplace isn’t just the right thing to do, it’s a smart investment. According to a report by Deloitte UK, for every £1 spent on mental health interventions, employers see an average return of £5 through reduced absenteeism, presenteeism, and staff turnover.

Why workplace mental health matters

When businesses prioritise mental health, the benefits ripple across the organisation. Studies by Mind UK show that workplaces with a focus on mental wellbeing see:

• Increased morale.
• Higher productivity.
• Stronger retention rates.

A positive workplace culture isn’t just good for employees, it’s essential for long-term success.
