It is estimated that sickness absences due to mental health cost the UK economy approximately £30billion each year (Centre for Mental Health) with impacts on staff productivity, turnover and absences. The cost to UK businesses directly has been calculated to be £2.4billion per year (Mental Health Foundation, 2020).
