Employee Mental Health

‘Employee mental health’ refers to the psychological well-being of workers in the workplace and is a critical aspect of the broader mental health and corporate wellbeing sectors. It encompasses a range of issues, from stress and anxiety to depression and burnout, directly impacting employees’ performance, engagement, and satisfaction at work.

This concept has gained substantial attention in recent years, as businesses increasingly recognise the link between employee mental health and overall productivity, workplace morale, and even financial performance. Companies are now more proactive in implementing strategies and programs to support mental health, such as offering counselling services, promoting work-life balance, and creating a supportive work environment.

The focus on employee mental health is also a response to the growing awareness of mental health issues in society at large and reflects a shift in corporate culture towards prioritising employee wellness as a key component of business success. It underscores an evolving relationship between the workplace and mental health, where addressing psychological well-being is seen as essential for both individual employees and organisational health.
