⅓ of our adult lives are spent at work. When work is stressful, overall quality of life suffers. Work-related concerns can also exacerbate mental health conditions, which affect 1 in 5 Americans. Stigma around mental health and fear of discrimination has led many employees to neglect seeking treatment. Employers have the power to change this profound issue that affects millions.
Supporting employee well-being is also good business. Mental illness will contribute to $16 trillion in lost output by 2030, significantly outpacing heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Depression alone is estimated to cause 200 million lost workdays each year. Today’s economy requires an engaged, resilient and innovative workforce. Every organization has an economic imperative to address mental health.
Every $1 invested in mental health promotion has a $3 to $5 return.
