Working On Your Mind

Having a job can help us stay mentally healthy by boosting our self-esteem and help give us a sense of purpose.

Unfortunately, unless we and our employers take steps to keep work healthy, it can have a negative effect on our mental health. 

Mental health problems are the fifth most common cause of sickness in the UK, accounting for around 8% of workplace absence.

Stress and anxiety are the most common mental health problems which are caused by issues at work. Read our guide on way to help maintain a healthy mind whilst employed.
