Why is Mental Health so Important to Businesses?

Deloitte has revealed that the cost to employers of poor mental health is £51bn per year*, a decrease from £55bn in 2021, but an increase from £45bn in 2019.* Presenteeism is the largest contributor, where people work in spite of illness but are unable to perform at their full ability, which costs employers around £24bn annually.

Deloitte research found that for every £1 invested in mental health and wellbeing interventions in the workplace, employers get an average of £4.70 back in increased productivity.
