2Macs will deliver this highly interactive CPD Event.

Ever sat through the presentation of H&S priorities or the launch of this year’s action plans and thought “are we ever going to get to the bit about Health or are we just going to talk about Safety?”

This drama based event is aimed at all levels of the workforce who may have to manage stress and mental wellbeing in themselves or others.

It is all too easy to neglect the H in HSE, particularly when that H relates to people’s mental wellbeing. The scars of mental health are hidden but the consequences are all too visible. It is a harsh fact, however, that stress and stress related absenteeism costs the UK 11.7 million lost work days per year and an estimated £6 – £7 billon.

Compare this to the 4.5 million days and £4.8 billion lost to work place injury and it becomes all too apparent why we should be giving far more serious consideration to workplace mental health.

A well workforce is not only more productive, but safer. This is the business case. Health, both mental and physical, however, should not be just a business case, it should be a moral obligation.
