  1. Why Poor Mental Health Issues Does Cost Your Business?

  2. You've probably heard that most problems have two components: mental and physical. When it comes to health care, employee well-being, productivity, and your bottom line, you should pay close attention to the mental aspect.According to the World Health Organization, mental health issues is "a state of well-being in which the individual recognizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to contribute to his or her community."

  3. According to the American Psychiatric Association, approximately one in every five adults suffers from an ongoing dysfunctional mental health condition. So, if it isn't you (at least not right now), it will most likely be someone you will work (or live) with. Everyone is aware that healthcare costs are skyrocketing, and many people are considering ways to reduce them. If you do the research, it becomes clear that we should prioritise the importance of mental health and positive employee wellness programmes that foster an environment that encourages employee participation. 

  4. Here is a list of the most common and frequently stress-related problems • Tiredness and low energy • Sleeping disorders • Problems with the stomach, digestion, and bowels • Recurring headaches • Can't concentrate, "foggy" mind • Irritating and moody • Chronic stress can more than double a person's chances of having a heart attack. • Stress and depression can account for up to 60% of employee absences. • Chronic stress has been linked to premature ageing and deterioration. • Depression-related health problems cost people 5.6 hours per week on average.

  5. In the United States, depressed employees spend $4,000 per year on medical services, compared to less than $1,000 for non-depressed employees.​These "costs" associated with untreated impaired mental health issues are insignificant compared to the costs associated with affected customer and coworker responses.
