Episode 223 - Let's Talk Mental Health & The Workplace
Tuesday May 20, 2025
Tuesday May 20, 2025
Today we’re diving into the latest findings from the AXA Mind Health Report, with a special focus on what they mean for Irish workplaces. The report, drawing on the experiences of 17,000 participants across 16 countries, reveals that Ireland now ranks at the bottom of the EU for overall mental health-an alarming statistic, with nearly half of Irish adults reporting they are struggling or languishing. For HR managers and organisational leaders, the findings are particularly relevant too – so let’s explore them!
To take us through the findings and what this all means for you and your organisation, we’re delighted to be joined by Nicole Paulie, Chartered Psychologist and Clinical Lead at laya healthcare’s 24/7 Wellbeing Support Programme.
