Time to Talk Day 💬

Talking about mental health at work isn’t always easy, but it really does make a difference.

Stress, anxiety, burnout, low mood… these don’t suddenly appear. They often build quietly, long before someone feels able to speak up.

That’s why simply asking “are you okay?” can be such a powerful first step.
But what matters most is what happens next.

Occupational health can help turn those conversations into meaningful, practical support — for both employers and employees.

If you’re looking for guidance or support around mental health at work, we’re here to help.

Why medicines matter in the workplace

Medicines, whether prescribed or bought over the counter, can affect how people feel and function at work. Side effects such as fatigue, dizziness, or lowered immunity may impact focus, safety, and performance, particularly in safety-critical roles.

Insight Workplace Health supports employees and employers with confidential occupational health assessments. Simple adjustments, like altered start times or modified duties, can make a real difference.

In this short video, Dr Lara Shemtob explains the key considerations for managing medicines at work.

When one team member is off sick, the impact on a small business is huge

For SMEs, every sickness absence day can cost around £120, and replacing a skilled employee lost to ill-health can cost over £11,000. Yet many small businesses lack the training to support staff through health challenges, only 21% provide line managers with workplace wellbeing training.

That’s why the UK Government is funding free occupational health training for 5,000 line managers between January and March 2026. Led by IOSH, this training gives managers practical skills to:

✅ Spot early signs of physical or mental health issues
✅ Have supportive, constructive conversations
✅ Make reasonable workplace adjustments
✅ Keep staff healthy, productive, and in work

This programme is a real opportunity for SMEs to protect their teams, reduce sickness absence, and boost retention, all while creating a healthier, more resilient workplace.

When your people thrive, your business thrives too.

Exciting news for workplace health and wellbeing

The WorkWell programme is being rolled out across England, providing personalised support to help people with health conditions stay in or return to work.

From physiotherapy and counselling to workplace adjustments and return-to-work plans, WorkWell connects people with the right support at the right time. Over 25,000 people benefited in the pilot, and now up to 250,000 more people will have access.

While WorkWell focuses on supporting individuals, its success also relies on employers having the right occupational health support in place to turn recommendations into practical action.

This is where proactive occupational health makes the difference.

At Insight Workplace Health, we work alongside organisations to translate clinical advice into practical, workable workplace adjustments, supporting managers, HR teams, and employees at every stage of the return-to-work journey. Early intervention, joined-up support, and clear planning help prevent short-term health issues from becoming long-term absences.

Programmes like WorkWell reinforce what we see every day: timely, coordinated occupational health support helps people stay in work, return with confidence, and thrive.
