The Costs of Poor Mental
Health in the Workplace Poor mental health in the workplace is a significant issue that can cause a lot of sickness absence among your staff. Unfortunately, it often goes unrecognised and unaddressed, leading to low productivity and even presenteeism.
Additionally, the cost of poor mental health is astronomical and affects not just the economy, but also individual businesses. However, the most devastating impacts of a stressful work environment are the personal costs faced by thousands of employees across the UK.
Legal Responsibilities
Businesses need to be aware of their legal responsibilities in effectively managing staff who may be struggling with such challenges.
It’s crucial to recognize that relationships in the workplace can be a key source of stress, and it’s up to all of us to create an environment in which everyone can feel supported and empowered.
Managers, colleagues, and employees often lack the knowledge, confidence, or skills to interact effectively, and appropriately support individuals who may be becoming mentally unwell. This lack of understanding can contribute to a culture of stigma and fear around mental ill health, leading to increased stress and reduced productivity at work.
Training
At Strongmind, we believe that building mentally healthy workplaces is essential to reducing sickness absence and creating a positive work environment for everyone.
Our range of Mental Health courses can help managers and staff at all levels improve their understanding of the issues and develop the skills they need to provide the right support when it’s needed. Whether you prefer face-to-face, virtual, or e-learning solutions, we can provide a training program that meets your needs.
We have extensive experience working with diverse sectors across the UK, including government departments, healthcare providers, charities, and corporate organisations. From face-to-face workshops to online mental health at work courses, we deliver solutions tailored to your needs.

Bespoke Mental Health Training Courses
At Strongmind we recognise that standard courses do not always fit client needs exactly. The demands and operating environments within some industries often highlight areas of concern. Outward-facing organisations frequently find dealing with the public challenging and the duty of care suggests managers or colleagues need some awareness training in how to handle specific situations and the impact on staff.
Our team work with clients to understand the specific concerns and operating environment. Our experienced development team then design bespoke training that addresses the specific learning outcomes identified by the client. We often run pilot courses and adjust to ensure that we hit the exact outcomes required.
