Prioritising workplace wellbeing is now critical for employers, especially where mental wellbeing is cited as an increasing issue in the workplace. Stress, depression, and anxiety accounted for 22.1 million working days lost in 2024/25.
A recent government report has also suggested that due to sickness absence, employers can lose on average £120 profit per day, equivalent to £43,800 annually.Employers that recognise and face the issue head on stand to gain as Deloitte suggests that an average return on investment in workplace wellbeing of 1:4.7 can be achieved. In other words for every £100 invested in your employees, a return of £470 is possible.Those that make this investment are likely to stand out from the competition by improving productivity, profitability and performance, demonstrating that your organisation is a great place to work. Mentell offers organisations a unique opportunity to support employees through our workplace wellbeing Awareness and Training programmes. These have been carefully designed from years of real insights working on the ground in local communities and learning from our member’s experiences in our weekly circles. We are experts in raising awareness of mental health and improving the lives of thousands of people. With Community Awareness days, we demonstrate how Mentell can support your employees and Mental Health First Aider’s responsibilities. For more in-depth training, we offer CPD accredited training programmes on a range of mental wellbeing themes to empower your employees, line managers and executive teams to improve workplace culture.
