Career Success For Accountants

Leadership Style, Management Practices and Bottom Line Performance

The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (“NICE”), which recently published some new guidelines on promoting mental wellbeing, estimates that stress, depression and anxiety is costing UK employers an estimated £23.3 billion per year.

By any stretch of the imagination, this is a huge figure and one which, when tackled, can add directly to the bottom line results of the organisation. Amongst its recommendations, NICE suggests:

  • A strategic and co-ordinated approach to promoting employees’ mental wellbeing.
  • Assessing opportunities for promoting employees’ mental well being and managing risks.
  • Looking at opportunities for flexible working.
  • Training and re-enforcing the role of line managers.
  • Supporting smaller businesses and medium sized businesses.

At a time when many organisations are facing real pressures financially, there could be a golden opportunity to improve people and financial performance.
