Article - Re-humanising the workplace: why prevention, support and standards matter more than ever

A timely and important read from Carole Spiers MBE, published by Workplace Insight.

Carole argues, convincingly, that re-humanising the workplace is no longer optional. The UK's Keep Britain Working review puts the cost of workplace ill health at £85 billion a year for employers alone. But beyond the economics, this is about people: their wellbeing, their careers, and their sense of being valued.

The message is clear: prevention, emotional intelligence, and accessible support aren't luxuries. They are leadership responsibilities.

At MHScot, this is a conversation we are committed to advancing in UK workplaces. The article is a strong reminder of why early action, strong culture, and genuine human connection at work are non-negotiable.
