During 2023-2024, 875,000 employees in the UK suffered from work-related stress, depression, or anxiety leading to 17.1 million work days being lost, making it the leading cause of absence. 

This can lead to lowered productivity, higher turnover of staff, subsequently higher expense in recruitment and training, and increased litigation costs, not to mention severe physical and mental symptoms for the individual employee.

In fact, this costs UK companies up to £10.5 billion each year. Prevention of burnout and work stress is therefore no longer a procedural nicety, but a fundamental necessity for any business, large or small. Not only will it have drastic changes for your employees, but research consistently shows significant business benefits for companies.
