Do you want to help your team create more 'Good' days at work?

Our veterinary industry research in January 2023 showed that 29% of respondents had seen a significant increase in mental health challenges for themselves and their teams.

Across all sectors in the UK, a staggering 70 million workdays are lost each year due to mental health problems, costing employers approximately £2.4 billion per year. According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) the average length of an absence is 21.6 days when the cause is stress, depression, or anxiety.
