Mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, and stress are increasingly affecting populations globally, leading to significant impacts on individuals' work and well-being. People with long-term health conditions, especially mental health issues, face challenges in employment and experience reduced life expectancy. Strategies focused on supporting economically inactive individuals with mental and physical health conditions are being developed to help them start, stay, and succeed in work. Employers play a crucial role in addressing these challenges by providing support and understanding for their employees' mental health needs.
