7 – Mental Health and Wellbeing Standard

Staff turnover, sickness and lost productivity resulting from poor mental health cost UK employers £45 billion each year.

This reinforces the fact that, in addition to the moral argument for looking after employees’ wellbeing – employers also have a strong financial incentive for doing so.

This standard focuses on all aspects of mental health including:-
  • Give workers information to reduce stigma around mental health
  • Workers are aware of legal entitlements on working conditions
  • Workers show mental health and wellbeing are valid and supported at all levels of the organisation
  • Management training
  • There is a mental health and wellbeing strategy
  • Out of work activities
