Caring in a Crisis: Prioritising Wellbeing in a Recession

The UK is in the 4th year of sharply increasing chronic illness with a record 2.5 mill of people now absent from the workplace due to long-term sickness. With mental health and other long-issues health conditions increasing sharply, how can organisations respond and prioritise wellbeing in a recession?

Matt Phelan is joined by Gethin Nadin, Chief Innovation Officer, Benefex and Katherine White, Director of People, Wyboston Lakes Resort to discuss:

• Why long-term sickness rates have been increasing so sharply and mental health is particularly impacted

• What difference a recession could make to wellbeing trends

• How different industry sectors and age groups are impacted

• How organisations can create a culture that prioritises wellbeing in a recession and start to reverse the trend.
