- Five employee benefits ideas that can help employees take charge of their mental health
In recent years, employee mental health has come under scrutiny as a critical issue affecting a large segment of the global workforce. One UK survey covering over 3,000 workers reported that over half of the respondents experienced poor mental health as a result of negative work scenarios. Additionally, several other causes leading to the poor mental health of employees can dent productivity, morale, and personal well-being.
Additionally, WHO’s mental health in the workplace report 2019 finds that mental health issues such as depression and anxiety lead to $1 trillion in lost productivity every year for the world economy. But there is hope. The report also finds that every $1 invested in employee mental health leads to a return of $4 in health and productivity.
This is why organisations in the UK and around the world are beginning to take proactive measures to improve mental health improvements.
