The recent CIPD research in partnership with Simply Health was completed in November 2018 and covered more than 3.2 million employees across the UK.
The top causes of long term sickness were mental ill health & stress with 59% & 54% respectively.
The top three causes of stress related illness are:
- Workloads / volume of work. 62%
- Management style. 43%
- Relationships at work. 30%
