Mental Health Crisis
As most of us are aware, the UK is in the middle of a Mental Health crisis and in our opinion, the current Mental Health provision does not work for all those individuals who need it. As we leave one Pandemic, we will surely enter another. People’s lives have changed immeasurably as a result of Covid-19.
In the space of only a few months, people have lost relatives and friends, jobs, freedom, social interaction and certainty. This is a massive change for most people and for the foreseeable future, workplaces and ways of working have changed also.

A Change
In Lifestyle & Workplace
This change in lifestyle and the workplace will certainly have a knock-on effect to not only those employees who currently experience a deterioration in their mental health but to those who currently don’t.
More and more people are now working from home with little or no interaction with their colleagues. Their home is now their workplace. Their kitchen table is now their workspace.
It is now more and more clear that employers should be actively assisting their employees in looking after their emotional and mental wellbeing. There are moral, legal and business reasons for creating a healthy workplace.
Employers have a duty of care to ensure the wellbeing of their employees is at the forefront of their Mission Statements. Many employers already have this on their agenda, offering perks such as:
Free/Reduced Gym Memberships
Discounts from retailers
Childcare schemes
Free food and drink
Exercise and activity classes
Health insurance
These are all fantastic. Yet, the one thing that underpins anyone’s happiness is how they feel inside themselves. If any employee is suffering from a deterioration in their mental health, then none of the above will feel of benefit to them or the employer.
Workplace Stigmas
The vast majority of Owners/Managers/Supervisors are simply not qualified to assist with someone’s mental health. The vast majority of employees won’t open up to someone in a supervisory capacity and here lies the problem.
As an employer, you won’t know what your colleagues are dealing with, both in and out of work. This will certainly have a detrimental effect on anyone’s performance in their role.
The ability for an employer to identify an employee’s deteriorating mental health is complicated by many factors, such as confidentiality, or concern that disclosing anything may have a negative effect on their job and role within the organisation.
The stigmas within our society are reflected in the workplace.
Healthier Staff. Healthier Profits.
withinu, provides employers with the key tool in employee engagement to enable them to fully support their staff with their mental health and wellbeing.
withinu is here to help employers to build an understanding of the impact of mental illness on their staff and their organisation. We want to eradicate the stigma around mental health both in and out of the workplace and encourage employers to take a whole organisation approach to mental health.
An estimated 15 million working days are lost in the UK each year due to poor mental health, with an annual estimated cost of £99 billion to the UK economy. For every £1 an organisation invests in their employees’ mental health and wellbeing, they can expect to see an average of £4.20 in return.
withinu is completely confidential. What is discussed in your employees’ sessions, stays in the session. The only two people who know what has been discussed are the two in the session. Sessions take place virtually via Microsoft Teams and are booked at a time convenient to the employee and the employer.
Your staff can undertake sessions in the workplace (obviously within a private area) or at home. All your employee needs is a smart device or a laptop. We utilise end-to-end encryption with 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), meaning all meetings are ultra-secure.
By fully supporting staff in this manner, this will result in:
- More engaged, highly motivated employees who feel valued by their employer
Which will in turn facilitate:
- Reduced cases of work-related stress
- Reduced employee grievances
- Reduced disciplinary action
- Improved sickness absence
- Improved company morale
- Increased employee retention
- Enhanced loyalty
- A more innovative workforce
- Greater support for the early return/return to work of staff who are absent
