Data shows a gap in workplace mental health support - here’s how we close it.

Industry findings from Mates in Mind highlight a critical disconnect: while 78% of workplaces record stress-related absences, many are missing the preventative infrastructure needed to protect their people.

At MHScot, we see these statistics not just as numbers, but as an opportunity for improvement. The data is clear… we need to move beyond simply recording absences and toward proactive solutions:

• Empowering managers: Moving beyond the 70% who feel under-equipped to conduct risk assessments.
• Building frameworks: Ensuring the 46% without policies get the guidance they need.
• Continuous learning: Reversing the trend of missing awareness training.

We are committed to helping organisations transform these findings into actionable change. Let’s build workplaces where mental health is a priority, not an afterthought.
