Employee Benefits in Scotland: closing the wellbeing gap - Supporting Employee Mental Health
In this podcast episode, Saba Haran and Andy Roddie from Howden's employee benefits team in Scotland explore the challenges businesses face in addressing employee well-being, particularly mental health. They discuss the significant financial toll poor mental health has on Scottish businesses—costing an estimated £2 billion annually—and delve into issues like absenteeism and presenteeism.
The conversation highlights three pillars of well-being: financial, mental, and physical, and emphasises the importance of tailoring support to diverse workforce needs. They also share survey insights, revealing that 76% of small and medium businesses lack adequate mental health support. The episode concludes with practical steps for employers.
