Mental Health and Wellbeing Support

Mental Health and Wellbeing Support

We offer mental health and wellbeing support and advice to a wide range of organisations throughout Surrey. As experienced HR consultants, HR Business Consultants are proud to be trained Mental Health First Aiders, and are fully accredited with MHFA England.

It’s obvious that healthy people are happier, more engaged and likely to be more productive in your business. Health equals wealth, to put it rather explicitly.  Looking after the wellbeing of your employees makes complete business sense. In our view, it’s important that you as a leader act promptly to create a working environment that’s good for all.

Body and Mind Combined

It’s increasingly evident that mental and physical wellbeing are inextricably linked. One affects the other.

Did you know that stress, anxiety and depression are the biggest causes of sickness absence in the UK? And that mental ill health is responsible for 91 million working days lost every year?

UK companies have a challenge on their hands, not least due to the fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic; ongoing wellbeing issues for those who have come through the virus themselves, as well as the grief of those who lost loved ones before their time.

Some Facts and Figures

Consider the following:

• Mental health illnesses cost employers an estimated £34.9 billion each year.
• This is the equivalent of £1,300 for every UK employee. This equates to:
  • £10.6 billion in sickness absence
  • £21.2 billion in reduced productivity
  • £3.1 billion in replacing staff who leave their positions for mental health-related reasons

They’re sobering statistics, aren’t they?
