Poor mental health significantly impacts workplaces in Wales, leading to substantial financial costs.
According to Public Health Wales, these costs arise from lost productivity, absenteeism, presenteeism (employees being present but not fully productive), and increased healthcare expenses. In the 2022-2023 period, UK employers faced a financial burden of £51 billion due to poor mental health in the workplace (PHW.NHS).
Join us at the Chambers Men's Health Network and see how you can create a healthier, more profitable, and productive workplace and take care of your own mental health at work, in collaboration with the Mindful Business Charter.
About the Speaker:
Richard Martin - CEO, Mindful Business Charter
Richard is a former senior law firm partner with personal experience of mental illness. Now a leading voice in workplace mental health, he advocates for systemic change in how businesses approach mental well-being.
About the Mindful Business Charter:
Founded in 2017 by senior professionals in the legal and banking sectors, the Mindful Business Charter was created in response to the growing mental health crisis in high-pressure industries. The Charter, launched in 2018, focuses on a permissive framework rather than a prescriptive rulebook, encouraging open dialogue and the elimination of unnecessary stressors in the workplace. Today, with over 100 organisations worldwide, the Charter continues to build a community of businesses committed to fostering healthier, more sustainable work environments.
Please note: This event is open to chamber members, tramshed tech businesses, mindful business charter invitees and legal news wales invitees only.
