P3 Business Care has warned of a hidden mental health crisis affecting HR professionals uncovered in a new report.
The latest HR Mental Wellbeing Report 2026, published by Ultimate Resilience in partnership with Everywhen reveals only 13% of HR professionals say their own mental wellbeing is well supported at work.
That should concern every CEO, Managing Director and Board.
Jim Grimmer, Founder, P3 Business Care, said: “At P3 Business Care, we have always believed that support works best before people reach crisis.
“Our Personal • Proactive • Partnership model is built around consistent face-to-face relationships.
“That includes HR teams.
“Rather than waiting for someone to ask for help, we spend time within organisations building trusted relationships where conversations happen naturally.
"For HR professionals, that means having someone independent who understands the pressures of their role, offers confidential support and provides an opportunity to reflect before pressure becomes burnout.
“We are not there to replace HR. We are there to support HR.
“When HR is healthier, leaders are better supported. Managers become more confident. Employees receive earlier intervention. The whole organisation benefits.”
