Actions to Address Mental Health Challenges
Poor employee mental health will prevent your business from running smoothly. Staying on top of current Canadian health and safety issues is key for your business’ success. This month’s health and safety challenges are related to mental health in the workplace and how this can impact the employer.
Problems related to employee mental health have been increasing in the workplace, which have a negative impact on your business. Employees who struggle with mental health are less motivated, can be aggressive around others due to personal problems, and do not perform their duties successfully.
Researchers recently conducted a study to address challenges related to mental health. The findings show that in 2025, 42% of employees experienced an increase in mental health challenges, 37% did not, and 21% were unsure due to a lack of information.”
The top 3 actions that can be taken for those situations are:
- Flexible work arrangements (Schedule)
- Allowing sick leave
- Employee assistance program
Providing employees with resources to support a healthy work-life balance can help them manage mental health challenges and personal or family issues more effectively. Workplaces that offer mental health support often see higher employee productivity and overall well-being.
