4、Workers may feel comfortable handing in a sick note for flu or physical illness but nearly half of workers reported not being happy to disclose a mental health condition at work,especially among manual(體力的)and skilled professions.

The survey of 1,000 workers by national charity The Shaw Trust found that 18.3% would not disclose a condition even to their HR department and only 17.9% would disclose details of an illness to a colleague.Of the respondents 34.5% said the reason they would not disclose a mental health condition was that they felt worried or ashamed they would be treated differently.This figure rose to 43.3% among16 to 24-year-olds.Besides,one in ten workers thought that disclosing a condition would reduce their chances of promotion with those in junior and middle management being most concerned.

Tim Cooper,managing director of The Shaw Trust,said:“The Office of National Statistics estimates that one in six people may suffer from a mental ill health condition at any one time.Despite this,our research illustrates people are still unwilling to disclose such a condition,particularly in the current economic climate in which workers are concerned about showing any sign of weakness.We know however from our work people with mental health conditions are perfectly capable of managing a job and their condition with the right support from their employers and therefore feel it is vital that such misunderstanding is laid to rest.”

To solve the problem,businesses need to create an environment in which people not only feel confident enough to discuss a mental health condition with a line manager or member of the HR team but in which they can also receive the support they need to continue making a valuable contribution.Additionally,to help businesses achieve this,The Shaw Trust has created a website offering advice and information.
