Hypothetical Workplace Mental Wellbeing Intervention Cost-Benefit Model

5.5 KB of economic modelling data for workplace mental wellbeing interventions, estimating UK employer costs at £51 billion annually. The model, created by Karina Watts and last updated in April 2026, generates hypothetical case studies to calculate incremental costs and savings per employee. It compares several interventions against 'no intervention' using a cost-consequence model with a one-year horizon.

Use Cases

• Estimating net cost savings of wellbeing interventions based on reductions in absenteeism and presenteeism.
• Conducting sensitivity analysis on intervention outcomes based on varying baseline levels of absenteeism, presenteeism, and staff turnover.
• Comparing the cost-effectiveness of different mental wellbeing interventions against a 'no intervention' baseline.
• Assessing changes in employee outcomes like productivity and staff turnover based on economic modelling inputs.

Strengths

• Model provides a concrete example of a £4,207 net cost saving per employee for a hypothetical case with 50 employees and £100 intervention cost.
• Data is structured for scenario analysis, allowing inputs to reflect substantial variation across individual organisations.
• Licensed under CC-BY-4.0, permitting broad reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment for large-scale analysis.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data consists of hypothetical case studies and model inputs, not real-world observational records.
