Mental wellness as a pillar for employee engagement

Mental health is an essential aspect of well-being that impacts every aspect of a person’s life. This includes their personal relationships, their ability to work, and their overall quality of life. With the pandemic and the changes that it has brought to the workforce, employee mental health has become a major concern for businesses. Companies are now seeking ways to support their employees’ mental health, and employee engagement programs have emerged as a popular solution. In this blog, we will explore the importance of supporting employees’ mental health through employee engagement programs.

Firstly, mental health is crucial for employee productivity and retention. Research has shown that employees who feel supported in their mental health are more engaged and productive at work. On the other hand, employees who are experiencing poor mental health are more likely to miss work, have lower job satisfaction, and are at a higher risk of leaving their job. Therefore, by providing support for employees’ mental health through employee engagement programs, companies can improve employee retention, reduce absenteeism, and increase productivity.

Secondly, supporting mental health can also lead to a positive company culture. When employees feel that their company values their well-being, they are more likely to feel a sense of loyalty and connection to the organisation. This can lead to a positive workplace culture, where employees are more likely to collaborate and support one another, leading to a more productive and harmonious work environment.

In addition to the direct benefits for employees, supporting mental health can also have positive financial impacts for businesses. Research has shown that poor mental health costs businesses billions of dollars every year in lost productivity and healthcare costs. By investing in employee engagement programs that support mental health, companies can reduce these costs by promoting a healthy and productive workforce.

In conclusion, the importance of supporting employees’ mental health through employee engagement programs cannot be overstated. By prioritising employee well-being, companies can improve productivity, retain employees, foster a positive workplace culture, and reduce healthcare costs. It is a win-win situation for both the employees and the business.
