Prevalence Of Mental Health and Its Impact on Employee Productivity

Abstract

Mental health is an important component of general well-being; it influences how we think, feel, and conduct. Mental health difficulties are common in the workplace and may have serious consequences for both individuals and companies. It may result in lower productivity, more absenteeism, high turnover rates, legal challenges, and, eventually, a loss of revenue and profits. Employers must acknowledge the significance of mental health in the workplace and give workers with assistance and tools to manage and enhance their mental health, resulting in a more engaged, productive, and loyal workforce that contributes to the organization's success. Employee absenteeism, presenteeism, and work performance may all be severely impacted by mental health. Encourage open communication, provide mental health resources, promote work-life balance, foster a positive work environment, address mental health in employee development, encourage physical activity, regular check-ins, form a wellness committee, review organizational policies and procedures, and lead by example are all strategies to promote mental health in the workplace.
