A new study suggests more than three quarters of workers aged 16 to 64 have experienced symptoms of poor mental health, and nearly two thirds of those with mental health problems believe work was a contributing factor.
Many of the 20,000 employees surveyed by the charity Business in the Community employees found their employers lacked awareness, training and responsiveness to mental health issues. More than half said their employers took no action when they disclosed their symptoms of poor mental health.
We’d like to hear from you about your experiences of mental health in the workplace. Do you feel able to discuss mental health in your workplace? Have you had a positive or negative experience when you have discussed your mental health? Are you an employer who has experience of building a workplace culture that supports good mental health?
