Is Qwell for you?

Do you recognise any of this within your organisation?

• Is productivity down from where it has been in the past?
• Do you have, or suspect you have, a rising level of presenteeism caused by mental and emotional health problems?
• Is mental ill health a taboo subject within your industry?
• Does you organisation operate in a profession or an industry where the threat of job losses is very real?

The evidence is that workers in particular jobs are more likely to develop common mental disorders or go off sick. This includes but is not limited to local government workers - for example, teachers, social workers and others - nurses, probation officers, police officers, the armed forces and medical practitioners.

"… productivity losses caused by mental health problems are more likely to take the form of presenteeism rather than absenteeism among white-collar workers than they are among blue-collar workers."
