According to the Driving for Better Business survey, ‘Better Business Resilience' - which surveyed 150 SME business owners and 150 decision-makers at board level in large enterprises on the impact of COVID-19 on their business - almost a third of UK businesses are concerned about staff mental health (32%).

Nearly 2 in 5 (39%) SMEs reported that they were concerned about the mental health of their employees, compared to only a quarter (25%) of large firms. These concerns are firmly on the corporate agenda. Among both SMEs and large enterprises, ‘the impact of COVID-19 on the mental health of staff' (44%) was being communicated at board level.
