Following a 1,600-person survey across England, we’ve taken a look at the pandemic’s impact on wellbeing and published the results in our ‘Coping with Covid’ report.
Coping with Covid report
Our report examines the impact of Covid on mental wellbeing in workplaces across England, how presenteeism is masking poor mental health, as well as offering practical advice for your clients’ managers on how to spot the signs that someone may be struggling and build a supportive culture.
Key findings include:
- Mental health days cost the economy £14bn last year
- Days off due to mental health increased by 10%
- 36% of employees say their mental health affects their productivity on a weekly basis
- Employees may be struggling in silence. 35% of employees reported mental wellbeing as ‘not good’ or ‘not good at all’, compared to only 7% of HR leaders
- 25% of employees are looking for extra wellbeing support from their employer in the coming months
Read the report for the full details on our findings, as well as tips for your clients on supporting their people and spotting behavioural changes.
