About the Panel Discussion

Mental health has never been higher on the agenda for businesses. It is easy to see why, as even prior to COVID-19, anxiety, and depression were estimated to cost the global economy over $1 trillion every year in lost productivity. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 1 billion people worldwide suffer from a mental health disorder.

The exodus from offices which is raging on into 2022 has presented further challenges and raised big questions about future ways of working. Recent data shows that 91% of jobseekers believe that the company’s culture should support mental health. Now more than ever, employers recognize that protecting and supporting the mental health of employees is critical to the future success of their business.
