1 in 5 employees are experiencing a mental health problem at any one time with stress, depression and anxiety contributing to lost working days, as well as presenteeism* and negative impacts on team performance.

Work-related stress can also exacerbate the risk of employees developing mental illness as well as worsening existing symptoms. However, we can create a positive difference to support mental health at work.

Research shows that:

  • Psychologically safe and healthy workplaces can enhance people’s mental health and wellbeing and protect them from mental illness.
  • For people with experience of mental illness, safe and supportive workplaces have been found to play an important role in recovery.
  • The return on investment in workplace mental health interventions is overwhelmingly positive, with an average return of $5 for every $1 spent (Deloitte, 2020).

*presenteeism (noun). The practice of being present at one's place of work for more hours than is required, especially as a manifestation of insecurity about one's job.

Umbrella's Managing Mental Health in the Workplace Masterclass will help you:

  • Enhance your leadership capability and confidence in supporting your people to flourish by promoting positive mental health as well as recognising and managing mental illness.
  • Create a framework and language for talking about mental health with your team that is empowering and proactive, instead of stigmatising and reactive.
