World Mental Health Day: Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace Today, on World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to talk about something incredibly important: mental health in the workplace. Why is this important? Mental health is a vital part of our overall well-being, yet it often gets overlooked in the daily grind. Did you know that in the UK, about 15% of workers have an existing mental health condition? This can really affect their ability to perform and feel engaged at work. The Impact on Individuals For individuals, poor mental health can lead to a range of issues, from decreased productivity and job satisfaction to more severe consequences like anxiety, depression, and burnout. It’s not just about feeling stressed; it’s about the profound impact on one’s overall quality of life. In fact, 1 in 4 people in England will experience a mental health problem each year. The Impact on Businesses It’s not just individuals who are affected; businesses feel the impact too. In 2022/23, around 875,000 workers in the UK experienced work-related stress, depression, or anxiety, leading to a whopping 17.1 million working days lost. This costs UK employers between £42 billion and £45 billion each year due to presenteeism, sickness absence, and staff turnover. The Economic Case for Support Supporting mental health at work isn’t just morally right for the employees; it’s also smart business. For every £1 spent on mental health interventions, employers can see a return of around £5 in reduced employee absence, quality of work, and staff turnover. This shows how beneficial it is to create a supportive work environment. What Can We Do? 1. Raise Awareness: Let’s encourage open conversations about mental health to reduce stigma. 2. Provide Resources: Make sure employees have access to # mental health resources and support. 3. Training: Equip managers with the skills and knowledge to support their teams’ mental health effectively. 4. Promote Work-Life Balance: Foster a culture that values work- life balance to minimise the risk of burnout. Where to Get Support If you or someone you know is struggling with mental health, there are many resources available: • Mind: Call 0300 123 3393 or text 86463 • Samaritans: Call 116 123 (available 24/7) • Shout: Text “SHOUT” to 85258 (available 24/7) • NHS 111: For urgent mental health support, call 111 and select the mental health option Let’s make mental health a priority in our workplaces. Together, we can create environments where everyone can thrive. Remember, it’s okay to not be okay. Let’s support each other and make our workplaces better for everyone. #WorldMentalHealthDay #MentalHealthAwareness #WorkplaceWellbeing #SupportEachOther

This week, we shine a light on eczema and contact dermatitis, conditions that affect millions across the UK. Did you know that 1 in 5 children and 1 in 10 adults in the UK suffer from eczema? 😮 Eczema can be more than just a skin condition. It impacts daily life, self-esteem, and mental health. A survey by the National Eczema Society found that 89% of adults with eczema feel it significantly reduces their quality of life, and a quarter of children with eczema have low self-esteem. Additionally, contact dermatitis is a significant issue in the workplace. It’s estimated that up to 40% of industrial workers will suffer from a skin issue at some point in their working lives1. Frequent exposure to irritants and allergens at work can lead to this painful and often debilitating condition. Let’s raise awareness, support those affected, and advocate for better treatments and understanding. 💙
