Mental health problems cost employers billions of pounds every year in sickness absence, reduced productivity, poor customer service and recruitment costs.

Using a combination of legal analysis, expert insight and powerful personal testimony, this short video looks at common mental health problems such as stress, anxiety, and depression and sets out practical ways in which employers can support people with mental health issues and create a supportive and compassionate environment that benefits everyone.
