The HSE calculated that stress, anxiety and depression led to the following results in 2019:
- 6 million workers suffering from work-related stress anxiety and depression (new and long-standing cases) in 2018/2019
- 21 working days lost per case on average
- 8 million working days lost
- 54% of all working days lost due to ill health
- 44% of all work-related ill health cases
- £5.2B annual cost of work-related stress, anxiety, and depression in Great Britain
Due to the impact of Covid-19, it’s safe to say these numbers are set to increase.
