Every day, a family is torn apart, a life is ruined, and a friendship abruptly ended due to the devastating effects of Work-related stress and anxiety on peoples’ wellbeing & happiness.  In 2018/19 stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 44% of all work-related ill health cases and 54% of all working days lost due to ill health.

According to MIND, 1 in 4 people experience a mental health problem while only 1 in 6 will seek help. Pre-Pandemic, it was reported that £8bn was lost yearly due to Absenteeism, while about £26bn was lost due to Presenteeism. These figures paint an appalling picture.
