A Program That Works
Workplace & Mental Health offers a structured program based on empirical evidence from the field of positive psychology, designed to help your employees overcome stress, anxiety, and depression in as few as 30 days.
Your company has a problem,
but how big is it?
The short answer? Very big.
In 2020, 21.0% of all U.S. adults aged 18 or older had 'any mental illness,' a category encompassing all recognized mental illnesses. The highest prevalence was observed among young adults aged 18-25 years (30.6%), followed by adults aged 26-49 years (25.3%)*.
This means that more than 25% of your employees have a mental health problem they are trying to cope with, and these problems are affecting your organization's bottom line.
The High Cost of Mental Health for Employers
On average, organizations spend over $15,000 annually on each employee experiencing mental health issues*.
Healthcare expenditures are nearly 46% greater for employees reporting high levels of stress*.
Mental health problems impact companies directly for treatment expenses and indirectly, and more significantly, from diminished productivity, increased secondary healthcare expenditures, and turnover*.
What does this all mean? If your company employs 100 people, mental health issues are costing you $375,000 each year. Scale that up to a company with 100,000 employees, and the annual cost soars to $375 million.
The Business Case
Companies have started to recognize the need to curb healthcare costs. For instance, Starbucks pays more for health insurance each year than for coffee, and the three domestic automakers have reported spending more on healthcare than on steel*.
The cost of doing nothing is higher than investing in evidence-based prevention and treatment of mental illness*.
Companies report that their intention to offer employer mental health programs is based on these desired outcomes:
Increase employee satisfaction (49%), increase employee engagement (46%), reduce overall health costs (45%), increase productivity (35%), reduce workplace injuries (34%), reduce disability leaves (21%), reduce the length of disability leaves (20%), reduce the prevalence of mental health disorders (18%), and improve retention (18%)*.
Employers that support mental health services for employees see a return of $4 for every dollar invested*.
In light of these facts, the case for investing in the mental well-being of your employees has never been more compelling.
