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 wellbeing, 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 wellbeing: 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.
The key takeaway: wellbeing is an ongoing journey that requires proactive and evolving strategies to support employees effectively.
