The mental health and wellbeing industry talks a lot about progress. Make no mistake, we are making progress. But by focusing too much on this abstract idea, we risk overlooking a devastating problem. Mental ill-health costs the global economy around one trillion US dollars. Every year. This highlights the enormity and urgency of the issue but never forget: behind every stat is a human story. A friend facing addiction. A team spiralling into burnout. A workmate contemplating suicide.
The report from Unmind outlines the strategies and solutions that HR, People people, and compassionate leaders around the world are rolling out with the tools and knowledge now available to them. Each trend is analysed, unpacking what it means for organisations and the people within them with some practical steps to help you build more psychologically safe cultures, high-performing teams and, crucially, demonstrate the impact of your wellbeing spend, so we can continue to tackle the problem, and build a better future together.
