HSE offers a number of tools and resources to help businesses create safe and healthy workplaces.
We want to make sure these tools and resources help the people who influence how their businesses shape both physical and mental health and safety in the workplace.
Please tell us about what tools you have, or havent, heard about in a short survey. Your responses will be anonymous. Take part in the survey Failing to manage stress at work can cost employers in reduced productivity, sickness absence, or even losing a valued member of the team.
The start of a new year is a time for many people to look at their careers and change jobs, meaning employers potentially lose experienced workers and have positions to fill.
In 2022-23, 875,000 people suffered from work-related ill health due to stress, depression or anxiety. Failing to manage stress at work can cost employers in reduced productivity, sickness absence, or even losing a valued member of the team. Employees leaving is not only a loss of valuable skills and experience but replacing them hits the bottom line as well, with the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) estimating that the median cost of recruiting employees is 1,500 and senior managers is 3,000 (2022 Talent planning survey). Read our blog from Rachel Suff at CIPD about how authentic and visible leadership, combined with strong management capability, are the pillars that support a mentally healthy workplace. Drive change across Britain's workplaces by helping to raise awareness of how employers can prevent stress and support good mental health during key moments through the year.
