Introduction from
Soma Analytics

Over the last 10 years mental health related absence
in the UK has increased continuously while at the
same time productivity per employee has decreased.
This highlights a widening gap between the market’s
productivity expectations and the mental health of a
company’s employees. The objective of this second
FTSE 100 report is to investigate which companies
are managing this gap well and help employees
thrive and which companies are struggling with
current market expectations.

Following the same methodology from last year’s
successful inaugural report we have seen a large
shift towards more reporting in mental health and
wellbeing. However, this shift did not happen across
all the FTSE 100 companies equally. Most of the
companies who were not reporting on it last year
continued to not report this year. The board rooms in
this country need to turn their attention to this blind
spot and start actively investing and reporting in their
staff’s mental health in order to stay competitive.

When we set out with the inaugural report last
year, our longer-term goal was to set the scene
for rethinking corporate reporting with regards to
employee mental health and wellbeing. We feel that
the sentiment in this country towards mental ill health
in the workplace has dramatically evolved and is now
a priority on the highest levels of the government.
The UK Government’s Stevenson Farmer report
or the increasing public awareness of the Heads
Together campaign are just two examples out of a
country-wide movement that we feel is necessary to
promote change.

At Soma we are actively contributing to this
movement. Not only has Soma published this report
but also executed the largest ever randomised
controlled trial of digital stress interventions in
the workplace. In this study we worked with six
companies across three European countries and
almost 1,000 employees participated. Soma will
launch the groundbreaking results later this year.
I personally hope that more companies are inspired
by this evidence and join the movement towards
focussing on employee’s mental health in order to
create healthier workplaces of the future together!

soma Foreword
analytics
Four years ago, when speaking about employee
mental health to fellow HR leaders, health and safety
executives, CEOs and board members in the UK and
around the world the question was primarily “Why
must we invest”. Today, the conversations have
turned from “why” to “what should we be doing.

This report shows that more and more organisations
report on mental health and wellbeing of their staff
and that the awareness in leadership circles and
boardrooms is increasing. We have come far in the
last four years yet there is still some way to go.

Over the years we have made significant progress in
creating safe workplaces for employees, by ensuring
safety is integrated into all aspects of a person’s
day at work through it being embedded in systems,
processes, policies, leadership behaviour. However,
to this date too many organisations are still seeing
an investment in mental health and wellbeing as “the
fruit basket in the reception” and the participation in
a mental health week. Those isolated activities need
to be executed through a strategic performance
enhancing framework and underpinned by a modern
mental health policies in order to promote the
change that’s required.

Healthy, energised people lead to more engaged
employees, more engaged employees can “move
mountains” and therefore enhance the performance
of the business. We all know the power “energy” has
in enhancing performance. Initiatives like this report
are an excellent way of holding organisations and
individuals accountable for their staff’s wellbeing,
move wellbeing from a ‘nice to have’, and often
standalone initiative, to a strategic enabler that
will enhance the performance of an organisation.
Leadership behaviours and the supporting
organisational infrastructure will be critical in these
endeavours.

I am looking forward to the next four years with
hope that we will not only answer the question “what
should we be doing” but also have succeeded in
making mental health and wellbeing a strategic
priority that directly contributes to the performance
organisations around the world.

Mental Health and Wellbeing FTSE 100 Report 2018 6

soma Executive Summary
analytics
With this 2018 FTSE 100 Mental Health and
Wellbeing report we have replicated last years study
confirming its results: a statistically significant link
between the reporting of employee mental health
and wellbeing and corporate earnings. Despite a very
strong general economy companies that addressed
mental health and wellbeing in their 2017 reports still
showed up to two times more profit.

The hypothesis behind this report is that the more
a company holds itself publicly accountable for the
mental health wellbeing of its employees the more
this company will invest. This investment could then
lead to more productive and engaged employees,
with less days off work, ultimately leading to better
financial returns.

In order to compile this report, researchers at Soma
Analytics analysed the more than 22,000 pages
of the 2017/2018 annual reports of all FTSE 100
companies. A semantic ( or ‘word count’) analysis
was used to determine the frequency of terms such
as ‘wellbeing’ and ‘mental health’. The results of the
semantic analysis have then been combined together
with data on company size, industry, revenue
and Glassdoor rating. Those outcomes were also
compared with the results of last year’s report to see
the changes over time. Further, Soma’s researchers
also conducted a correlation analysis to determine
the relationship between the frequency of mental
health and wellbeing appearing in a report and the
FTSE 100 company’s profitability.

This years findings show a clear increase in
mental health and wellbeing reporting of FTSE 100
companies. The average mentions of ‘mental health’
in annual reports almost doubled from below one
in 2017 to over 1.3 mentions per report in 2018.
Overall, the industries that report most on mental
health are Finance, Insurance & Real Estate as
well as Utilities. Media, Manufacturing and Retail &
Consumer Goods are the industries that consistently
mention mental health and wellbeing the least in
their annual reports. Special mention should go to
the Construction industry. While in 2017 they did not

7

mention ‘mental health’ at all, this year’s average
count increased to 0.6 ‘mental health’ mentions per
report. Which places the construction industry on
the 5th place of 10 industries.

This years report also re-confirms last year’s findings
of a statistically significant positive correlation
between mentions of mental health and wellbeing
and a company’s earnings before taxes. The top half
of companies reporting most on mental health and
wellbeing made double the profit than the bottom
half. Even though not conclusive alone, all these
indicators combined can support the hypothesis that
the more a company reports about the wellbeing
and mental health of their employees, the better their
financial results.

Mental Health and Wellbeing FTSE 100 Report 2018 8

Section 1: Assessment
Methodology

Traditionally, sentiment analysis has been used to
analyse written documents, including the annual
reports of public companies, to understand if the
general tone of a document is positive or negative.
Sentiment analysis has also been used by financial
analysts to interpret annual reports to better
understand the outlook that the company gives. For
this purpose, special “sentiment word lists” exist which
can be used to undertake such analysis (Loughran and
McDonald word lists).

In this report we have chosen a similar sentiment
analysis approach, however, instead of sentiment word
lists we have chosen words that identify wellbeing, and
especially mental wellbeing. We focus on the words
“wellbeing” and “mental health” and their derivations
(i.e. wellbeing, well-being, well being).

This report differs to classical sentiment analysis where
researchers differentiate between positive and negative
sentiment. We do not focus on the connotation of the
words. We are indifferent as to whether mental health
is mentioned in a positive or negative way. The key idea
of this report is to measure how much public attention
FTSE 100 companies pay to mental health and
wellbeing - not if they mention it positively or negatively.

Other than in the USA, where annual reports are
comparable in structure based on the 10-k form, UK
companies have more freedom on what, where, and
how much information they disclose on topics such as
risk, strategy, performance, etc. This provides further
support for a sentiment analysis as companies can
choose what they focus on and what is mentioned. It
is therefore clearer how much they focus on the health
of their “biggest asset” - their employee. However, it
also brought challenges since many different annual
report document formats had to be brought into a into
a machine readable format to perform the analysis.
Finally, we wanted to re-test if the hypothesis we
confirmed last year that healthier employees are
more productive employees still holds true today with
data of an additional year. Therefore, we correlated

soma 9
analytics

wellbeing mentions with companies earnings before
interest and tax (EBIT). Our initial thinking was that the
more a company holds itself publicly accountable for
the wellbeing of their employees the more they invest
in it. This could lead to more productive employees,
with less days off work, and more engagement with
their companies, ultimately leading to better financial
returns. The regression model that was used is by no
means perfect and has several flaws. For example,
correlation versus causation. Correlation only shows
that when mental health and wellbeing mentions
increase also profits increase. However this does not
necessarily mean that mental health mentions cause
the increase in profit.

A full list of the FTSE 100 companies included in
this study, along with their sector classifications and
individual results is shown in the Appendix, page 19.

soma Statistical analysis of
analytics the effects of investment
in mental health and
wellbeing on profits

In this years statistical analysis we wanted to
investigate whether last year’s results could be
replicated and whether the general hypothesis that
a company’s performance is linked with employee
mental health also holds true with the next set of
annual reports. Therefore we have applied two
statistical test:

• the analysis of variance test (balanced single
factor ANOVA) exactly as last year

• the Wilcoxon rank-sum test which is new for this
year.

As last year, we have combined the number of
mental health and wellbeing mentions and examined
whether a meaningful relationship between the
numbers of mentions (independent variable) and
the company’s profits before taxes (dependent
variable) exists and if this relationship is statistically
significant.

For the analysis we split the companies into two
groups: companies that mentioned the words
“mental health” or “wellbeing” three times or
less (54 companies) and more than three times
(46 companies). The cut-off value of two groups
represents the median number of mentions and
allows for a relatively even split.

Results

With the generally very favourable climate the
FTSE 100 Index has hit several all-time-highs in the
last 12 months and its constituents have posted
record profits in 2018 producing several outliers.
For example, there were two companies posting
higher profits than they posted revenues. Those
outliers also played a significant factor in the ANOVA
analysis, skewing the mean values of the two groups

17

such that the group with the low mentions had a 18
(statistically insignificant) lower mean profit (£2.196
billion) than the group with the high number of
mentions (£2.317 billion).

In order to control for those outliers we picked
the Wilcoxon text which is more robust in those
scenarios. Applying the Wilcoxon test to the median
profit, shows a clearer, less outlier-sensitive picture:
median profits were more than twice as large for
the high group at £1.568 billion compared to the
low group at £680 million. Testing those results for
statistical significance, essentially whether they are
produced by random variation or not, shows that this
year’s results are even more significant (p < 0.02),
or less likely to be purely random, than last year’s
(p=0.03).

We assume that the underlying mechanism how
profit and mental health and wellbeing reporting
could be linked is that healthier employees may be
more productive and if a company sees value in their
employee’s mental health they are more likely to
invest and if they invest they are more likely to report
about it in their annual report.

These results should not be understood as a “proven
causal link” between investment in mental health and
corporate profits as there are many market influences
on a company’s financial performance. It is beyond
the reach of this analysis to control for each variable
such as changing standards in financial reporting,
currency fluctuations and changing interest rates.

Taking into consideration the limitations discussed
previously the results of this report reconfirm
last years results and strengthen the relationship
between mental health and wellbeing mentions and
corporate performance. We see them as an indicator
that companies who are not yet investing in their
staff’s mental health should definitely consider this as
an worthwhile investment paying off on an economic
level by increasing a companies profit but also on a
social level by increasing employees overall health
and wellbeing.

Project

Primer on the Results of The First
Large Scale Trial into Reducing
Workplace Stress Using a
Smartphone.

What is Horizon 2020?

By coupling research and innovation, Horizon
2020 provides an emphasis on science, industrial
leadership and tackling societal challenges.

The EU has awarded Soma Analytics the
responsibility of conducting the largest study of its
kind, looking at reducing stress in the workplace via
a smartphone application.

What did the study do?

In this study Soma had six organisations from
three European countries participating with nearly
1,000 employees. The study was set up after the
‘‘gold standard’ for clinical studies: a randomised
controlled trial whereby half the participants received
the “treatment” (the Kelaa app) and the other half
received a the “treatment” only at a later date
(waiting list control group).

Why is this research important?

This 2018 FTSE 100 report shows that investing
in the mental health and wellbeing of employees
could lead to increased productivity and corporate
earnings. However, the question however remains
as to where investment should be focused on in
order to maximise employee health and wellbeing.
At Soma Analytics we use science-backed and
evidence-based solutions to show that digital
interventions such as the Kelaa Smartphone App
administered in the right way are the ideal tool for
companies to create a happier, healthier and more
engaged workforce.

When are the results ready?
The collection of the data has finished in August
2018 and Soma’s scientists are currently finishing the
analysis. Preliminary results already indicate some
groundbreaking findings. The official results will be
shared publicly in the last quarter of 2018 .
