According to statistics released by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), there were 602,000 cases of work-related stress, depression or anxiety in 2018/19.
They resulted in 12.8 million working days lost, which is 37% of all absences through ill-health.
Some of the most common factors of stress come down to workload pressures, such as tight deadlines, too much responsibility and a lack of managerial support.
