 Why Invest in Mental Health and Wellbeing

• According to the Health and Safety Executive statistics

published in 2021, an estimated 822,000 workers suffered
from work-related stress, depression or anxiety which
accounted for 50% of all work- related ill health.*
• Research by the University of Oxford has found that happy
employees are 13% more productive.**
• There is a strong economic case for investment in mental
health awareness and support with organisations seeing an
average £5 return for every £1 spent.***
