Thriving at work: The Stevenson/Farmer review of mental health and employers.
Farmer, P. & Stevenson, D.
This study has led us to conclude that underneath the stigma that surrounds mental health and prevents open discussion on the subject, the UK faces a significant mental health challenge at work.
While there are more people at work with mental health conditions than ever before, 300,000 people with a long term mental health problem lose their jobs each year, and at a much higher rate than those
with physical health conditions.
Behind this, our analysis shows that around 15% of people at work have symptoms of an existing mental health condition.
