Millions of employees spend a large part of their day (and lifetime!) at work, increasing the impact that a person’s workplace environment can have on their mental well-being. When left untreated, mental health conditions can significantly impact the day-to-day workings of a workplace. When mental wellness is made a priority in the workplace, employers should expect to see fewer sick/PTO days being utilized, a reduction in employee turnover, improved productivity, increased employee engagement & loyalty, reduced healthcare costs, increased employee job satisfaction and fewer accidents.
There are many ways that an employer can support their staff experiencing mental health challenges, yet doing so can be challenging. We recommend incorporating education. Not only will NAMI Brown County’s workplace education presentations provide valuable knowledge on an array of topics related to mental wellness, thus reducing the harmful stigma that surrounds mental health conditions, but our presentations also act as conversation-starters to get people talking and prioritizing mental wellness in the workplace. We look forward to collaborating with you at your workplace!
