Oakwood Training

Oakwood Training Helping you develop a culture with employee wellbeing at the heart. WELCOME TO OAKWOOD. We help companies develop a culture with employee wellbeing at the heart.

Oakwood turned 10 this year and we’ve been reflecting on why we do what we do. Delivering mental health, wellbeing and conflict management programmes is what we do of course, but what really gets us out of bed in the morning is something much more. Our ‘Why’ is about creating happier, more inclusive, and productive workplaces where people feel valued and fulfilled and are at the very heart of the

way the business operates. We believe it’s good for people and good for business. We are unique in being able to present a more holistic training package that joins the dots between conflict and wellbeing. Conflict can impact our wellbeing, but our state of wellbeing can also influence our response to conflict. We deliver a range of bespoke training and wellbeing services to sectors where people are key to business success. We develop content specifically for your business, so your people know what is expected of them rather than just overly generic content. We can deliver in any time zone or language. We believe that the messenger is as important as the message, and we take great care in ensuring our team can connect and inspire. We’ve built a team of incredible trainers who are not just academics. They bring their own extensive front-line, real-world experience from a range of diverse backgrounds to create safe environments where the realities of mental health, wellbeing and conflict can be explored. We ensure our eLearning courses and live trainer-led programs are culturally relevant by using native-speaking trainers to develop and deliver content in local languages. We consider cultural differences, perspectives, legislation, resources and signposting specific to different countries. We’d love to find out more about you and your organisation, and how we can help. Get it touch 🖥www.oakwoodtraining.co.uk, 📩info@oakwoodtraining.co.uk, ☎01858 469497

The UK has passed five million working days lost to mental-ill health in 2026, underlining the growing impact of mental health-related conditions such as anxiety, depression, stress and burnout on the UK workforce.

Nearly a third (30%) of all employees report having experienced anxiety or depression in the past year, with a further 25% reporting stress or burnout in the same time period.

Those who took sick leave for anxiety or depression in the past year took an average of 7.1 days off, while those with stress and burnout took 5.9 days off over the same period.

Mental ill-health is the leading cause of long-term absence and the second leading cause of short-term absence.

The research shows that while younger employees are significantly more likely to take time off for mental health issues in short bursts, older workers are taking substantially longer periods of absence when they take sick leave for mental ill-health.
