Panel Two: Occupational Health: The hidden cost of the modern workforce
Over 1.8 million UK workers grapple with work-related ill health each year - and poor occupational health costs the economy more than £20 billion annually. Mental ill health is one of the top reasons employees take extended time off, and the ripple effects impact businesses, teams and individuals alike.
Join us for an insightful and practical session dedicated to helping employers take meaningful steps to support their employees’ mental wellbeing. With the help of an experienced counselling psychologist who works with individuals facing depression, anxiety and burnout, we will:
- Decode the early warning signs of mental health struggles in the workplace
- Offer actionable tools to help managers respond with confidence, compassion and care
- Navigate employers’ legal responsibilities
- Explore inclusive approaches to neurodiversity as diagnoses rise among working adults
- Chair - Heidi Watson, Employment Partner, Clyde & Co
- Simon Brittz, Lead Psychologist, HCA Healthcare UK
- Alex Walster, Head of People and Culture, Navigator Gas
- Jennifer Murphy, HR Business Partner, Thomas Miller
