Mental Health in the Workplace
Mental health in the workplace is more than just a wellness initiative – it’s a business priority. Poor mental health impacts productivity, retention and workplace culture, while neglecting it can lead to legal risks. Supporting employee well-being fosters engagement, reduces turnover and strengthens business performance.
In our latest theme feature, we explore why mental health matters for business leaders and the practical steps you can take to create a healthier, more resilient workforce.
