A Mentally Healthy Workforce—It’s Good for Business

From the Partnership for Workplace Mental Health, A Program of the American Psychiatric Foundation:

Most employers know that a mentally healthy workforce is linked to lower medical costs, as well as less absenteeism and presenteeism. And most employers know that a mentally unhealthy workforce is associated with increased loss of productivity. What employers may not know, however, is how to get from A to B: How does a company change a mentally unhealthy workplace — or a marginally healthy one — to a healthy workplace? Where does it start?

The Partnership provides some insight into that question with its just-released publication, A Mentally Healthy Workforce—It’s Good for Business. The document is unique because it weaves together stories from the workplace world with research findings to build a coherent picture of workplace mental health.
