Mental health-related absence is now one of the biggest drivers of sickness absence in UK workplaces. The HSE estimates 964,000 workers experienced work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2024/25, leading to 22.1 million working days lost.
For employers, getting it wrong can have serious consequences. Inconsistent absence management can impact employee wellbeing, increase legal risk and make it harder to attract and retain talented people.
That's why the experts at our Partner, Citation have created a FREE guide: Managing Mental Health-Related Absences in the UK. The guide explores how to identify early warning signs, manage absences fairly and consistently, support employees back into work, and understand your legal responsibilities.
