Your wellbeing programme for Stress Awareness Month
April is Stress Awareness Month. Throughout the month, organisations around the UK focus on signposting towards support, informing and skill-building with their employees. The aim: to reduce stress in the workplace and promote employee mental wellbeing.
The latest stats on stress are alarming:
- The most common cause of stress is work-related stress, experienced by 79% of respondents (Statistica)
- One in 14 UK adults (7%) feel stressed every single day (CIPHR)
- 74% of people feel so stressed they have been overwhelmed or unable to cope (Mental Health Foundation and YouGov)
It’s clear that stress is having a major impact, both in workplaces and among the UK population. And the challenges of a stressed-out nation don’t stop there. Workplace stress costs the UK economy £28bn a year, according to data from AXA.
So, what can you do as a business?
Rather than getting stressed about stress, think of Stress Awareness Month as an opportunity. Treat it as a reset, to boost access to employee mental health support and focus on staff wellbeing. The theme of this year’s Stress Awareness Month is #LittleByLittle. Because every contribution to mental wellbeing and stress reduction helps.
