Mental health is impacted by biological and environmental factors. As an employer, you canít affect the biological aspects, but you can help in the work environment.
Why we need to pay attention to employee mental health
As organizations become more open to publicly talking about employee mental health, organizations can do their part in promoting positive mental health by becoming an advocate. Set manageable work hours, train supervisors to lead in a successful manner, have mental health resources readily available, and promote healthy living.
When employees feel happy and healthy, they are able to work to the best of their ability. Moreover, satisfied workers exude the very culture your organization breeds, so take care of your staff and they will take care of you.
