A new report has revealed that over half (54%) of people want access to Stress Reduction Programmes in the workplace.

With the pandemic having a lasting effect on many people’s mental wellbeing as well as the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, it won’t come as a surprise to learn that workers are calling for better support from their employers.

The Robert Half 2024 Salary Guide found that workers also highlighted a need for perks and benefits such as additional days off and access to facilities to increase physical movement, which would help their mental wellbeing.

Steve Sully, Regional Director at Robert Half, commented on the findings, “The mental wellbeing of the workforce has taken a hit since the pandemic. From the uncertainty and general loneliness that came from the various lockdowns to a significant shift in what the world of work looks like and, more recently, economic and financial pressures, staff have had a lot to contend with.

“There’s no doubt that the vast majority – if not all – of employers have recognised this and we have seen a greater focus on mental health in boardroom discussions. But the fact that such a large proportion of the UK’s labour market are looking for access to Stress Reduction Programmes and other incentives to boost wellbeing suggests that the issue still prevails.

“As the economic outlook begins to show promising signs, businesses will once again face tough competition for talent and risk losing core staff members and potential new recruits to rival brands unless they can provide a robust and holistic employment package.

“With budgets already stretched, financial incentives such as pay rises and bonuses aren’t on the cards for many. But offering additional benefits packages that also have the added bonus of boosting mental wellbeing and, in turn, productivity and morale, makes absolute sense.”
