Manager Session

Mental Health for Managers

Give your managers the knowledge and confidence to recognise mental health challenges early, respond with empathy, and create the conditions where every member of their team can genuinely thrive.

Why This Matters

Most organisations don’t train their managers to support mental health

Managers are expected to support their team’s wellbeing, yet many are given no formal guidance on how to do it well.

29%
of organisations train line managers to support mental health
Where organisations do train them, 73% agree their managers are confident to have sensitive discussions and signpost staff to expert help, against 57% where they do not. (CIPD, 2025)
964,000
workers with work-related stress, depression or anxiety
That is around half of all work-related ill health in Great Britain, and the largest single category (HSE, 2024/25). Earlier, better support from managers can help stop cases escalating.
£4.70
average return for every £1 invested
Deloitte’s estimate of the average return to employers from investing in staff mental health, through measures such as training, screening and awareness-raising. (Deloitte, 2024)
