Statistics tell us that stress and poor mental health are the second biggest cause of sickness absence in UK workplaces\, and 12.8 million days were lost due to work-related stress\, depression\, or anxiety in 2019. A survey by Mind found that ten percent of employees rated their mental health as poor or very poor; of these\, 26% said that this was due to problems at work and a further 50% cited work as a contributory factor. \nThese figures only paint part of the picture\, and recent research into the effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic suggests that lockdown\, social distancing and working from home are having a significant impact on mental health and wellbeing due to increased anxiety or stress. According to Mind\, some 60% of adults and over two thirds of young people said that their mental health got worse during lockdown. \nWhile there are many factors to consider\, it is clear that the workplace has huge potential either to enhance or to undermine mental health and wellbeing. \nEmployers increasingly recognise the need to identify and support people with mental health problems\, but the wider task is to identify and address those workplace practices which can strengthen or undermine individual well-being and mental health. So\, what can employers do to become part of the solution rather than part of the problem? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Hear from experts and an international business leaders.\nGain practical guidance and insights.\nShare your experiences with other companies. \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n\nBe inspired!\n\n\n\n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Stephen Bevan \nHead of HR Research & Development \nies (institute for employment studies) \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Stephen Bevan will discuss the evidence from recent research into mental health and wellbeing at work\, and assess the impact of the COVID- 19 pandemic. \nStephen is Head of HR Research & Development at the Institute for Employment Studies (IES).

He is currently co-authoring a book with Professor Sir Cary Cooper entitled ‘Work\, Health and Productivity’ which will be published later in 2021. \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Nick Price \nFounding CEO \nBright Purple\, UK \n\n\n					\n				\n					\n						Nick Price is the founding CEO of Bright Purple\, the technology recruitment firm now entering its 26th year of business.
