Difference Makers Discuss… Mental Health Matters

May 31, 2022 @ 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm BST

Difference Makers Discuss ... Mental Health Matters

Managing mental wellbeing is essential if we are to foster a more productive workplace and better work environment.

The finance industry generally is famed for high pressure and long hours, where people can feel that unless they are seen to work long hours and weekends they will not be considered for career promotion. This kind of working environment has lead to stress and mental ill health for large numbers.

We can’t do it all without looking after ourselves first. The most important thing a finance professional can do for their mental wellbeing is to make time for themselves.

Join our Difference Makers as we uncover the issues around mental health and wellbeing affecting Chartered Accountants and the business & finance sector more broadly.
