Our speakers shared:

• That 23.3 million working days are lost to stress and burnout costing UK businesses £28bn a year, as highlighted in the AXA UK and Centre of Economic and Business Research
• Why research suggests that current mental health interventions such as mindfulness, resilience and stress management apps are not getting to the crux of the problem. See Jan 2024 Study, Oxford University Industrial Relations Journal
• Some of the key issues in their different workplaces and the ways that these are currently tackled
• How to redefine the approach towards stress management in organisations by proactively looking at the causes; identifying the biggest issues that your organisation has the resource to deal with and practically applying actions to achieve results
• That there is still a place for treating the symptoms of stress. It’s unrealistic to think that stress can be eliminated entirely but it can be drastically reduced by taking a problem-focussed approach.
