Event Industry News has revealed that, over the last 12 months, nearly half of employers in the events industry have taken a more active role in trying to improve workplace wellbeing.
The research completed bi-annually by Stress Matters, which had 430 respondents, shows that 45% of event industry professionals have reported seeing more effort by their employers to improve workplace wellbeing.
The founder of Stress Matters, Laura Capell-Abra, says that they are “encouraged to see such huge progress… however, [they] still have a long way to go”.
She clarifies by explaining that many initiatives that are being implemented are not approached strategically and, whilst it is better than doing nothing, she believes that wellbeing should be approached like any other business strategy with measurable goals and a clear plan.
Further Findings
Other results included: 28% of event industry professionals have taken time off work due to a mental illness, 60% of which were under 35 years old; 67% of people believe that a company’s pro-active stress management approach would influence their future job choices; 31% of respondents believe that a blame culture is causing them stress at work and; 28% of respondents would not speak with colleagues or employers about when they are feeling overwhelmed as they don’t believe it would help.
