Alliance Leisure has offered official support to the 2023 Workforce State of Mind Survey, a project exploring the wellbeing of those working in the fitness and active leisure sector.  Now entering into its third year, the Workforce State of Mind Survey, owned and managed by Workplace Mental Wealth and backed by The Chartered Institute for The Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA), will, this year, benefit from the official support of Alliance Leisure, Active IQ,  Les Mills and Myzone. Last year, The Survey, which is anonymous, reported that 57 per cent of people working in fitness and active leisure have experienced a mental health issue in the last 12 months, up from 53 per cent the year before. Only 11 per cent say that anybody at work checks in on their mental health, down from 19 per cent in 2021.  The Survey was set up in 2021 to provide insight into the mental wellbeing of the workforce and to empower employers to better support their people.

Sarah Watts, CEO at Alliance commented, “With nearly 6 in 10 leisure sector workers experiencing a mental health issue in the last 12 months we need to do more as an industry to raise awareness and provide help to those that need it. Alliance Leisure are therefore very proud to support the Workforce State of Mind Survey which aims to do just that.”
