Mind has released a report about mental health in Universities, particularly in the light of the pandemic. They have produced new research on the subject and aim to work with employers to create a commitment to mental health at work. The report is aimed at HR teams and line managers to support the mental health of their staff. The headline statistics from the report reveal the depth of the problems in academia with 76% of employees surveyed reporting behavioural, psychological or physical symptoms due to work compared with 60% in the general UK population of employees. The guide provides case studies and advice for managers and HR teams. It can be found here:
