Understanding the current state of mental health in your workplace is the first step to creating a mentally healthy environment.
To improve the efficacy of your mental health and wellbeing initiatives, you need to understand what your employees truly need and how they perceive the support currently provided. Business leaders and HR teams can use this mental health and wellbeing survey to gain an understanding of how employees are feeling, what support they value most, and where improvements are needed. This data-driven approach helps ensure that wellbeing strategies are relevant, inclusive, and genuinely impactful.
We commissioned a survey of 2,000 UK workers with OnePoll to gather insights into their experience of mental health in the workplace. One of the key findings was that only 19% of employees feel that the mental health resources provided by their employer are sufficient. This highlights the reality that, despite efforts to support mental health in the workplace, many employees still feel unsupported. The gap suggests that employers may not fully grasp the specific needs and concerns of their workforce when it comes to mental health.
