The research, conducted by Never Not Creative and UnLtd and supported by the industry initiative Mentally-Healthy Change Group, shows improvements in how much the industry prioritises mental health and the effectiveness of activities.  

Some 1,400 employees across the media, marketing and creative industry participated in the survey, which was conducted during August and September this year.  

The study found a 33% improvement from 2020 on how seriously employees feel their organisation is taking mental health and how effective staff feel their company is at addressing the mental wellbeing of staff, with 63% of respondents ranking their company’s effectiveness as fair to high. 

The research also highlighted the importance of training for managers and leaders and their ability to have conversations around mental health.
