The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) says that stress, anxiety and depression are the number one reasons for work-related illness in the UK and is on the rise.
Statistics published covering the 2021/22 period, show of the 1.8 million workers suffering from a work-related illness, 914,000 were stress, depression or anxiety. Over half of working days are lost due to work-related stress, depression or anxiety.
As a result, the HSE have introduced a “Working Minds Campaign” which helps drive culture change across Britain’s workplaces, where recognising and responding to the signs of stress become as routine as managing workplace safety.
To assist in their campaign, they would like as many people as possible complete a short survey. This should take approximately 5 minutes to complete and all responses will be anonymous. The survey can be found here:
