The National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence said the cost of work-related mental illness was £28bn - a quarter of the UK's total sick bill. Bad managers were the single biggest cause of problems, the group claimed. But it said simple steps such as giving positive feedback, allowing flexible working and giving extra days off as a reward could cut the impact by a third.
