Mental ill health costs UK employers an estimated £34.9 billion each year – the equivalent of £1,300 for every employee in the UK workforce. Broken down, that’s £10.6 billion in sickness absence, £21.2 billion in reduced productivity, and £3.1 billion in replacing staff who leave their jobs for mental health-related reasons.By taking simple steps to improve the management of mental health in the workplace, employers would be able to save 30% or more of these costs – at least £10 billion a year.
