The report: Mental Health, Still the last workplace taboo? found that:

40% of employers view workers with mental health issues as a 'significant risk'

8 in 10 companies have no mental health policy

1 in 4 employers could not name any mental health disorders

Mismanagement of mental health cost British business 70 million sick days and £26bn a year

The report was based on a poll of 500 business leaders, commissioned by Shaw Trust and funded by Time to Change reveals that while there has been improvement, mental health discrimination and prejudice are still rife within the workplace.

Chief executive Sally Burton said: :Our poll, reveals British business is continuing to fail employees with mental health conditions.

"Levels of prejudice and misunderstanding are alarmingly high, yet emotional and practical support remains low or often non-existent. Working for a supportive employer can make all the difference. But it's not just about social justice; it also makes real business sense. In this age of austerity, companies can ill afford to ignore mental health in the workplace. It is time to break this last workplace taboo once and for all."
