Mental health-related absence is now one of the biggest drivers of sickness absence in UK workplaces. The HSE estimates 964,000 workers experienced work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2024/25, leading to 22.1 million working days lost.
For employers, getting it wrong can have serious consequences. Inconsistent absence management can impact employee wellbeing, increase legal risk and make it harder to attract and retain talented people.
