More work needed
Now, employers need to step up.
“Now, more than ever, employees are looking for employers that align with their values and personal goals,” says JobSage.
And there are new solutions available that can help employers address the issue, according to Mercer.
“Digital platforms for scientifically validated therapies such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) can make it easier to offer solutions to all employees, improving access to care options outside of traditional face-to-face counselling,” it says. “A strong mental health strategy allows an employer to set a framework, identify gaps, address employee preferences and cover needs across the entire spectrum of mental health conditions.”
