Mental Health Awareness Week | 13–19 May 2025

The numbers speak for themselves:

📈 One in four people in the UK will experience a mental health problem each year.

💼 76% of employees say they’ve experienced symptoms of poor mental health at work.

🔁 And yet, far too many workplaces still treat mental health as a personal issue rather than a shared responsibility.

At Hemisphere Consultants, we believe employers have a crucial role to play in reversing the mental health crisis.

When businesses create an environment where people can bring their whole selves to work, it isn't just the right thing to do, it's the smartest thing to do. When people feel safe, supported, and seen:

🔥They thrive.

♾️Collaboration deepens.

🌊Innovation flows.

And yes, retention improves.

Mental health support isn’t a perk. It’s a foundation.

Let’s move beyond box-ticking and start building cultures where wellbeing is embedded, not added on.

Let’s challenge the outdated idea that mental health is “invisible” or secondary. It’s real, it’s vital, and it impacts every part of our lives including our careers.
