Mental health at work: The business costs ten years on.

This paper presents new estimates of the costs to employers of mental health problems at work, updating figures published by Centre for Mental Health ten years ago. The new figures relate to the financial year 2016/17 and show that the aggregate costs to employers come to £ 34.9 billion in that year, equivalent to about £ 1,300 for every employee in the UK workforce. The new estimate represents an increase of 35% on the corresponding total for 2006, most of which is attributable to the combined effects of a larger workforce receiving higher money earnings.
