Description
Presenteeism (working while ill) due to mental ill-health is estimated to be one of the largest economic costs to employers. We seek to investigate the relationship between line manager training in mental health (MH) and presenteeism trends at work. The aim of this study was twofold: (i) to examine the relationship between the provision of a new and emerging workplace MH and wellbeing (MH&WB) initiative – line manager (LM) training in MH – and presenteeism as reported by organizations and (ii) to examine the reasons for presenteeism, and organizational-level strategies used to action it. To address these questions, we conducted a secondary data analysis using panel data from 7139 firms in England over four time points (2020–2023).

Coverage
  • Midlands, England
  • Wave 1 collected immediately prior to, and at, the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in the UK (pandemic declared by WHO on 2020-03-11). Waves 2, 3, 4 collected during the pandemic (which ended on 2023-05-23).
Data collection method
Data were collected using structured computer-assisted telephone (CATI) interviews. Interviews were conducted by call centre operatives from a UK-based independent market research company. Approximately 12%-14% of interviews were subject to live listening quality control (QC), with around 5-10% of interviews undergoing full QC (listening to recordings and checking data once the survey is complete).
Legal and ethical issues
The data are owned by the Enterprise Research Centre, University of Warwick. Participants in the surveys provided oral consent which was documented by the telephone operatives, and the data were analysed anonymously.
