Importance of mental health at workplace

Anxiety is one of the top mental health concerns in the workplace. An analysis of more than 300000 US employees by a mental health provider found that almost 24% of the employees have reached out for help due to their anxiety issues. And it's just the tip of the iceberg.

  • Untreated mental health issues can also increase workplace accident risks.
  • Prolonged mental health issues can affect the creativity and decision-making ability of the employee.
  • When not treated for a long time, mental health issues can affect the productivity of the employees. Data says that on an average employees miss 31.4 days of work per year due to depression. 
  • Employee turnover is another major concern of mental health issues among employees that can directly affect the ROI of the company.
