Why awareness and open dialogue
about mental health issues?
about mental health issues?
Open dialogue in companies about mental health issues is a must if organizations want to support their employees through what may be the most difficult time in their lives.
When allowing a culture where mental health is not something we talk about, employees will often not speak to their manager or colleagues of the issues in their families, leaving companies unable to support before it is too late.
When management set the culture for an open dialogue, employees are able to open up as well. This leads to organizations being able to support their employees and prevent:
- Reduced performance
- Sick-leave and stress
- The loss of valued colleagues
- The cost of hiring and training new staff
While increasing employee:
- Performance
- Resilience
- Satisfaction
- Loyalty and retention
- Motivation
