We've all seen and heard about the mental health issues that affect the workplace. Many organizations across America are beginning to offer training in the area of workplace stress management, but why should everyone take these steps? Why should we worry about employee wellness?


It's no secret that there are a large number of employees suffering from mental illness. However, we still hear stories every day about businesses going through layoffs, which leads to increased levels of anxiety and stress among remaining employees. So, if mental illness is affecting your company, how should you address the issue?

One of the first things to address is the stigma that surrounds the issue. Even though mental health problems are common, many companies overlook the fact that they need to be addressed and taken care of. It's important to know that employees in your company are affected by these problems. This leads to an increase in absenteeism, which affects productivity.

Mental illness shouldn't keep anyone away from work. Employers should make sure that their employees are given the proper resources so they can have a happy and healthy day. If this isn't the case, the company might end up losing money as a result of lower productivity and higher absenteeism.
