Than ever call in sick and quit work because of work pressure, a study published tomorrow, more and more people. Can be seen entirely independent of the Sun revealed that a quarter of them said they had quit because the work does not support the manager, while there are 17%, because the workload was excessive.
Almost every survey of 2050 eyes of charity workers, 20 percent called in sick to avoid the stress levels beyond the control of the work, but almost everyone is lying, why do they feel unwell. Over-stressed workers are more likely to be attributed to an error or a headache, stomach than admit that he is not a long time to deal with excessive workloads, or bullying.
These figures show that 40 million workers in Britain have suffered hundreds of thousands of difficulties, lack of love and a direct result of the heavy work of mental suffering. Many people have left.
Mental health and employment groups warned that the urgent need for employers to become more "emotional intelligence" and to improve them with stress and mental illness, it holds individuals and businesses to return to treatment last night.
Center will launch a pioneering 5-year campaign to shame well-being of the whole nation, the challenges in the workplace bullying and lack of support. This comes from the top of its extensive three-year £ 20m anti-discrimination campaign, "Time Change", which completed next year.
Paul farmers, chief executive of Mind said: "The psychological well-being must be a corporate priority, as our research shows that we have more people than we previously thought, the work pressure in the struggle.
"The existing stigma means that there are still huge gap between, because of stress and mental health problems and those who feel that the work can admit it. We have to provide employers with support to mental illness is no longer in the room elephant, but like any other conditions can be discussed, and with the right attitude and policy management, the.
"This is a win-win business case is absolutely clear."
At any one time about 800 million working age people shared experiences, such as depression, anxiety, sleep disorders, alcohol dependence of mental health problems. Health and Safety Executive research shows that stress and mental illness is more than half of all working days lost for each year.
Economic impact is clear: the cost of mental illness to employers estimated 26 billion pounds a year. If symptoms do not concentrate, low motivation and fatigue lead to lower productivity, accounting for two thirds of the cost of two-thirds, according to the Mental Health (SCMH Sainsbury Centre).
However, most employers and human resource directors of mental health staff is not the concept. Half do not believe that someone in their staff from mental health problems, according to the employment of Hong Kong Run Run Shaw Charitable Trust.
Commercial activities in order to help and encourage employers to become more open to work work stress and mental health problems and care end of the stigma, thus reducing the cost of mental illness. A high-profile companies such as British Telecom and Axa have pledged their support number, I hope this will help spiritual movement reached a critical point, the eradication of the last great social taboos.
As a start, the heart is to require all employees to "recover their lunch time" tomorrow to draw attention to the importance of work and life balance.
But we have reason to be optimistic. More mental health and employment policy measures in the last year than in the past 10 years, at any time. The complex shows to replace the sick leave last month launched a new small and medium enterprises Occupational Health Hotline, and the HSE stress management standards, all part of the former government's plan to help people with existing mental health problems or new Locate, and then to keep their jobs.
These developments were widely hailed as a great opportunity, but continued research is needed to measure its impact on staff, Prevalence and productivity, warning 海伦洛基特, director of programs and SCMH performance. The new government said it would focus on improving access to psychological therapies.
Ms. Lockett said: "The mental anguish is a kind of life that affects every person in the workplace reality. All employers need a comprehensive plan to prevent, identify and help manage workplace mental health problems, for which We need policies and training, but also a big cultural change. "
