Healthy Business
Paritas has developed a range of key business services. By working together we can help you reduce the costs of sickness absence to your business and keep your staff healthy and happy.
We can provide a full assessment of your current workforce in regards to stress and mental health management. We can then provide you with a full action plan that will drive down costs relating to stress and improve the working conditions and productivity of your workplace.
Paritas has also developed innovative manager training on managing stress and mental health in the workforce. Delivered already to over 200 managers in key services across the region our training will equip your staff to make the difference in developing a healthy business.
There are very real financial costs associated with stress in the workplace and a sound business case for addressing mental health and stress as an employer. Today really is the day to start making your workplace a healthy business.
Paritas has designed a full business assessment that will enable you to see the real cost of stress to your services. This unique tool has been trialled with the Environment Agency, one of the largest public organisations in the region.
Our team will work out with you what areas to assess. We then will carry out the assessment and provide to you a full action plan that detials your own business costs of stress and mental ill health. This will let you know not only where you can make improvements, but also how to do it.

The Paritas ‘Mental Health and Employment’ training will provide you with depth and stimulating training to managers.
The ability to support and manage mental health in the workplace has never been more important. The number of people experiencing mental health problems is rising in the UK. The cost to the UK economy is estimated to be over £93 billion.
One day seminar
The training is delivered over one day and explains how mental health impacts upon the workplace. We introduced tools to manage stress and show how your managers can make adjustments that mean your organisation can be a healthy and productive place.
We believe our training will enable you to be a leader in creating a healthy workplace and reduce the costs of stress absence.
The training is delivered by a team of mental health and employment specialists and has been successfully delivered across West Sussex County Council, West Sussex Primary Care Trust, Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, West Sussex Library Service and the West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service.
We would love you to be the next organisation to reap the rewards.
Don’t just take our word for it. Other managers are already benefiting.

There is a sound business case for wellbeing across workplaces in the UK. It is reckoned that 3 in 10 of your employees will experience some form of mental health problem in any one year. The cost of this per employee you have will be around £1000. Remember that is a cost per every employee, not just the people who may be experiencing mental health problems!
Job satisfaction is frequently linked to motivation and performance. This leads to lower absenteeism, fewer grievances and disciplinary situations and better overall performance. 70 million working days are lost due to mental ill health every year. Currently the cost to the UK economy of mental illness related absence is £9 billion.
When you add together the cost of underperformance of people with mental illness that are in work, estimated to be £15 billion, this makes a massive £24 billion pounds lost to businesses like yours every year. By utilising effective mental wellbeing tools businesses have reduced their costs by 30% in the area of absenteeism and performance.
For every £1 spent on addressing mental wellbeing within their workplace, businesses can gain approximately £2.50 through better attendance and performance. That represents a very sound investment opportunity. What's more our healthy business services are here to help you achieve this.
