Why Mental Health and Wellbeing Matter in the Workplace

A strategic focus on mental health and wellbeing is no longer just a benefit for organisations—it’s essential. With workplace wellbeing rapidly gaining traction, work-life balance is becoming a requirement rather than an aspiration. Prioritising mental health helps organisations foster a healthier, more productive workforce while improving their capability and reputation.

Recent studies have shown that businesses investing in mental health strategies see significant benefits, including:

• Increased productivity and performance through a healthier, happier workforce.
• Improved employee engagement and motivation, leading to reduced staff turnover.
• Enhanced organisational culture by promoting a balanced work environment that prioritises well-being.

Despite these clear benefits, only 4 in 10 employers currently have a formalised mental health and wellbeing strategy in place. Meanwhile, 72% of employees rate wellbeing as a top priority for management (Source: CMI 2024). This presents a substantial growth opportunity for forward-thinking organisations that want to improve employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall performance.

The total cost to UK employers of poor mental health among staff is estimated at £45 billion per annum (Source: Deloitte 2020). Implementing a robust mental health strategy can not only reduce these costs but also create a positive working environment where both individuals and organisations can thrive.
