Mental and behavioral health challenges affect 1 in 4 adults worldwide. Given that the majority of awake time is spent at work, the workplace is an ideal setting for promoting good mental health. For employers, supporting a healthy workforce, particularly one emotionally and cognitively healthy, can also drive productivity, improve attendance, produce long-term health care cost savings, and help attract and retain top talent.
My guest for this episode is fellow employee wellbeing and organizational performance consultant Dr. David Ballard. Listen in to learn more about mental health, what it is exactly and what is the employers role in supporting it.
