The Importance of Workplace Well-Being
According to the Mental Health Foundation, one in six employees experiences mental ill health annually. Many factors contribute to mental ill health, including domestic abuse, stress, trauma, bereavement, suicide ideation, and menopause. These challenges may not always be work-related, but employers must adopt a holistic approach to workplace well-being to support their staff effectively.
Many people fear saying the wrong thing or making matters worse, but early intervention is essential. Empowering managers and employees to have open, informed discussions about necessary support benefits both individuals and organisations.
Why Workplace Domestic Abuse Awareness Matters
Domestic abuse does not stay at home—it affects every aspect of an individual's life, including their work. Employers who acknowledge this reality and take proactive steps to support affected employees help foster a safer, more productive workplace. Evidence shows that organisations reducing stigma and strengthening management skills in workplace well-being experience numerous benefits, including:
- Improved staff retention
- Reduced absenteeism
- Increased employee engagement
- Higher productivity levels
- Seamless alignment with CSR strategies
