A major new survey of almost 44,000 employees[1] conducted by the mental health charity Mind has found that almost half (48 per cent[2]) had experienced poor mental health, such as stress, low mood, and anxiety, while working at their current organisation. Of those respondents, only half chose to tell their employer about their difficulties (10,554).

Commenting on the latest official labour market statistics released today by the Office for National Statistics, Gerwyn Davies, Senior Labour Market Analyst for the CIPD, the professional body for HR and people development, comments:
