Data compiled by Oracle and Workplace Intelligence revealed 53% of executives are struggling with mental health issues, compared to 45% in the wider workforce. We need our C-Suites operating at their very best, and also able to manage their own mental health. You may well have members of your top team who are currently struggling. The value of timely support for these people can be hugely impactful on the business.

It isn’t just the C-Suite that we need to be thinking about. There will be senior leaders in critical departments and divisions who are under great stress and need support. Giving them that support that they need could be crucial in making sure that they carry on being able to be effective in their roles.

There will be high-value colleagues who are critical to the on-going success of the organisation. Maintaining their mental health is potentially as critical as that of the C-Suite and senior management. Looking after these people also sends a critical message to the rest of the organisation that your people are important and their health and welfare is important to you.

To develop the sustainability and resilience of your business and organisation, it’s critical to have managers and leaders who are educated and trained in dealing with the challenges of supporting staff and colleagues.
