5 Resources to Empower Your Employees and Promote Mental Health Awareness

According to the American Institute for Stress, workplace stress costs organizations $300 billion globally. Four out of five employees report feeling stress on the job and it’s only getting worse; 75% of employees say that workers have more on-the-job stress than a generation ago.

When someone is suffering from stress and anxiety at work, it can affect the employee and organization in a myriad of ways. In high-stress workplaces, absenteeism and presenteeism increase, productivity and quality of work diminish, and it often leads to overall poor workforce morale. Employees experience a lower quality of life, miss out on goal achievement, and lose confidence. Simply put, when we’re stressed, we become the worst version of ourselves.

Now is the time for action on workplace stress. But where do you begin? Check out these five resources to give you expert advice and easy ideas to:

• Educate employees on good stress vs. bad stress
• Combat burnout
• Design a workplace where employees feel safe and empowered
• Normalize treatment for stress management
