Employee mental health challenges are on the rise and spiking employee stress levels from challenges both inside and outside the workplace are hindering job performance and contributing to higher healthcare costs. CDC has recently shown that depression is now a leading cause of physical illness, which directly impacts employer bottom lines.
To address this mental health crisis, employers must take steps to remove the stigma around workplace mental illness and offer mental and emotional wellbeing programs that address high out-of-pocket costs for mental health services.
In this podcast, Dale Cook, founder of Learn to Live, addresses the prevalence and reasons behind the rise of mental health issues in the workplace and discusses tools and strategies that employers can use to help employees get the help they need, including:
- The current state of mental health of today’s workforce
- How rising stress and depression affect the workplace
- What’s behind the rise in mental health challenges?
- What role do employers have in addressing mental illness?
- How virtual teletherapy is helping employees get the help they need
- How cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps workers develop coping skills
