Reducing the risk of work-related suicide

World Business Report

Available for over a year

On World Suicide Prevention Day we ask how employers can prevent work-related suicide. Yvette Greenway-Mansfield's partner's daughter and a colleague both took their own lives. She helped found the support organisation Silence of Suicide in response, and tells us what more she thinks can be done. And Louise Aston, wellbeing campaign director at Business in the Community, discusses a suicide prevention toolkit they have put together for employers who, she says, have a responsibility to spot warning signs. Also in the programme, the insurance market Lloyd's of London has recorded a loss after $3bn of coronavirus-related claims. Bruce Carnegie-Brown is chairman of Lloyd's, and explains what the long-term impact of the pandemic on insurance is likely to be. Plus, as make-up firm L'Oreal launches a recycling service in the UK for its products across a thousand stores, we get reaction from Will McCallum, head of oceans at Greenpeace UK.
