Mental health and wellbeing are increasingly being recognised as important issues in society and the workplace. But are employers really doing enough to support employees or is it becoming more of a ‘tick box’ culture?
Ziqitza understands the concerns related to Mental health which have become a top priority for employers over the last few years and with good reason. Conditions such as anxiety and depression can cost the global economy $1 trillion each year in lost productivity, according to the World Health Organization.
Large employers are boosting mental health resources as they recognize the strain the pandemic is putting on their employees. Two-thirds of employees report that poor mental health has undercut their job performance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and 40% of employees are battling burnout. Employees may be working relentlessly amid economic uncertainty with few social outlets, and possibly juggling childcare to boot, eviscerating any separation between work and the rest of their life.
Ziqitza Rajasthan found that promoting employee mental health at work is crucial if employers want to attract and retain committed employees. Almost half of employees 45.6% would look to move jobs if their employer didn’t provide enough support in relation to their mental health.
Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.
Dr. Datar, Ziqitza Healthcare says depression and anxiety are two of the commonest mental disorders that affect our ability to work, and productively. A recent study led by WHO found that more than 300 million people around the world suffer from depression and another 260 million from anxiety, with many living with both conditions and that such disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity each year.
Ziqitza Rajasthan & ZHL Rajsthan understands the impact of work alone on personal identity, self-esteem, and social recognition is hard to measure, most mental health professionals today agree that the workplace environment can have a significant impact on an individual’s mental well-being. Given that we spend half of our waking hours at work, our experience in the workplace is unsurprisingly one of the most influential factors to our mental health.
People don’t visit mental health counselors when dealing with debilitating work stress. Some feel therapy is too expensive, and for some treatment doesn’t fit into their schedules. As a result, the modern workforce is suffering in silence. Here’s where Ziqitza Corporate Wellness Solutions help your employee stay fit mentally and physically. Where your employees can get easy access to the Doctor on Site or Doctor on call available for counseling.
Ziqitza Limited has observed as organizations become more open to publicly talking about employee mental health, organizations can do their part in promoting positive mental health by becoming an advocate. Set manageable work hours, train supervisors to lead in a successful manner, have mental health resources readily available, and promote healthy living. When employees feel happy and healthy, they are able to work to the best of their ability. Moreover, satisfied workers exude the very culture your organization breeds, so take care of your staff and they will take care of you.
Benefits Of Prioritizing Your Employees’ Mental Health
Researchers found mental illnesses like depression, stress, and anxiety to be just as debilitating as some organic medical diseases like arthritis. This is why it’s important to create an environment that promotes mental well-being and provides resources and benefits for employees with such illnesses.
Some benefits of doing so include:
1. Reduced Sick Absenteeism: You’d be surprised at the percentage of employees who call in sick when they’re too depressed to get out of bed. Sick absenteeism causes repercussions like reduced pay. A better workplace encourages more people to come to work instead of avoiding it, reducing the percentage of absenteeism.
2. Better Work Output: We all know that mental illnesses can be disabling and make it hard to find motivation. Employees with mental illnesses may not be able to put in their full effort at work, and after a while, it could affect their work quality. Prioritizing your employees’ mental health can help improve their work output.
3. Healthy Employer-Employee Relationships: Who doesn’t want to work in a friendly environment, free of hostility and toxicity? Such a situation can only be achieved if you convey to your employees that their well-being is important.
Although mental health services have to be multidimensional to be effective, the workplace is an appropriate and important environment in which to educate individuals about mental health problems. Employee mental health can make all the difference in the bottom line of the company. Take care of the mental health of your team, and make your company prosper.
