Increasing retention

More working days are lost due to stress, depression and anxiety than any other work-related illness.


Ignoring this costs a lot. Sick pay reduces profits. Covering for absent colleagues increases pressure. And losing a vaued team members costs more.

But with the right support, people experiencing mental health issues can - and do - stay in work.
