How common are mental health issues in UK workplaces?

Work-related stress is the biggest cause of work-related ill health in Great Britain. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), in 2024/25:

964,000 workers were affected by work-related stress, depression or anxiety
22.1 million working days were lost as a result
Stress, depression or anxiety accounted for 52% of all work-related ill health
These conditions caused 62% of all working days lost to work-related ill health

For small businesses, losing even one person to stress-related absence can put real pressure on the rest of the team.

Why small businesses need our Employee Assistance Programme

Compete with larger employers

Attracting and keeping good people is tough when you’re up against bigger companies. An EAP shows candidates and employees that you take their wellbeing seriously, giving you an edge in a competitive jobs market.

Put relationships first

Small businesses are built on personal connections. Our EAP reflects that care, giving every team member access to confidential, professional support whenever they need it.

Cost-effective support

An EAP gives your whole team access to support for a fraction of the cost of traditional health insurance, without compromising on quality.

Keep your team performing

In a small team, every absence counts. Since April 2026, Statutory Sick Pay has been payable from the first day of absence, so absence now costs small employers from day one. Timely support helps employees deal with problems early, reducing stress-related absence and keeping your business running smoothly.
