🚨 Urgent Call to Action for Workplace Wellbeing 🚨
This week, the Health and Safety Executive unveiled the latest statistics on Health and Safety at Work in Great Britain 2023, and the findings are alarming.
In the 2022/23 period, nearly two million workers reported suffering from work-related ill health. The data, shows that 1.8 million workers are affected, with stress, depression, or anxiety accounting for approximately half of these cases.
Before the pandemic, the rate of self-reported work-related ill health had been relatively stable, but the current figures exceed those of 2018/19. This is a wake-up call for employers, further emphasising the need to prioritise the wellbeing and safety of our workforce.
This report serves as a stark reminder of the challenges our workforce faces. As we grapple with the enduring impacts of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis, addressing the rising rates of work-related ill health must become a paramount concern. It is crucial for employers, leaders and HR to collaboratively work towards creating healthier workplaces that foster a culture of care.
