Mental Health in the HR Profession

I’ve written previously about what I think is the biggest ever survey on the mental health of HR professionals in the UK. Over 1,400 respondents.

Devised and undertaken by Dr Jo Burrell and Dr Felicity Baker of Ultimate Resilience, the results are now in. 

The headline for me is that depression is 2.5 times higher among HR employees than in the general population. Almost half (44%) meet the criteria for clinically significant symptoms of depression, compared with 16% in the general population. 

This is a good feature on the survey from HR Magazine.

Jo and Felicity are determined to help improve the issues raised head on and I was very pleased to give them my support in reaching such a wide audience.
