Poor mental health costs UK employers up to £45 billion each year. That's the equivalent of more than £1,500 per employee in the UK. Research in 2020 uncovered that for every £1 spent on supporting people's mental health, employers get approximately £5 back on their investment in reduced presenteeism, absenteeism and staff turnover (Deloitte 2020).
