The Concept team came together last week to open the conversation about the importance of mental health in the workplace, and how to look out for ourselves and each other. R U OK Day is a great reminder to live our values and remember to look after the people behind our people-powered workspaces.
Mental health can awkward conversation, but it is a necessary one.
Just a snippet of the stats covered in our session:
Mental Health in the workplace:
- 91% employees believe workplace mental health is important.
- But only 52% believe theirs is healthy.
- ROI to business of $2.30 for every $1 spent on workplace wellbeing.
- 50% employee’s reason for leaving; in a well workplace – 60% reason for feeling committed.
- 35% want privacy around a condition.
- Real Estate/Construction & Hospitality industry have a higher representation of Mental Health issues, also first responders.
