Almost a quarter of the UK’s largest listed employers have shown improvement in workplace mental health performance in the past year, with nearly half acknowledging the connection between financial wellbeing and employee mental health, according to the CCLA Corporate Mental Health Benchmark-UK 100.

The benchmark, which evaluates the global approach to workplace mental health of 100 of the UK’s largest listed companies with over 10,000 employees each, highlights the significance of mental health as a systemic risk and encourages robust management systems. The companies are ranked across five performance tiers to promote a focus on mental health among companies and investors, ultimately aiming for employee well-being and success.

Among the companies assessed, 24 have moved up at least one tier since the inaugural benchmark in 2022, with 10 firms exiting the lowest tier. Furthermore, 19 companies now rank in the top two benchmark tiers, doubling the number from the previous year. Centrica, Experian, HSBC, and Serco Group emerged as the top performers, securing places in the highest tier. Notably, Weir Group experienced significant improvement, advancing from tier four in 2022 to tier two in 2023.
