Description
Line manager (LM) training in mental health is gaining recognition as an effective method for improving the mental health and wellbeing of workers. However, research predominantly focuses on the impacts of training at the employee-level, often neglecting the broader organisational-level outcomes. Most studies derive insights from LMs using self-reported data, with very few studies examining impacts on organisational-level outcomes. We aimed to explore the relationship between LM training in mental health and organisational-level outcomes using company-level data from a diverse range of organisations. This dataset was for secondary analysis of anonymised panel survey data from firms in England, with data derived from computer-assisted telephone surveys over four waves (2020, 1899 firms; 2021, 1551; 2022, 1904; and 2023, 1902). The analysis merged the four datasets to control for temporal variations. Probit regression was conducted including controls for age of organisation, sector, size, and wave to isolate specific relationships of interest.

Data collection method
Data were collected using structured computer-assisted telephone (CATI) interviews. Interviews were conducted by call centre operatives from a UK-based independent market research company. Approximately 12%-14% of interviews were subject to live listening quality control (QC), with around 5-10% of interviews undergoing full QC (listening to recordings and checking data once the survey is complete).
Legal and ethical issues
The data are owned by the Enterprise Research Centre, University of Warwick. Participants in the surveys provided oral consent which was documented by the telephone operatives, and the data were analysed anonymously.
