Are employee mental health issues adversely impacting the workplace?
A resounding YES!!! As reported by the 2023 State of the Workforce Mental Health findings:
- MOST workers are facing mental health struggles, but not reaching out for help or utilizing their benefits (EAP / insurance);
- The prevalence of severe or complex mental health issues has increased over the last three years;
- MANY employees are struggling to find the appropriate care;
- MANAGERS lack needed mental health resources.
Employees with mental health stress:
- Adversely impact the workplace morale
- Reduce productivity
- Require an increasing amount of management supervision and attention
Encouraged action steps to address this trend:
- “More dialogue, less stigma”
- Ensure access to effective treatment
- Provide managers with the needed training and resources
“Improving the health and well-being of our employees makes good business sense. As a leading provider of workplace health services, we see every day the difference it can make to a company’s bottom line and the impact it can have on employee morale and motivation. It offers a ”win-win” all round. Employees benefit from better support for their health. Companies benefit from less absence and improved productivity. And society benefits from improved public health.”
– Steve Flanagan, Commercial Director, Bupa
