It’s time to take a fresh look at the mental wellness resources you offer your workforce
Employees want more mental health support — for themselves and their families. But a one-size-fits-all approach isn’t enough: Employee mental wellness support needs to be unique and precise to each person who seeks it. Do your current efforts meet the growing need?
Half of employees (50%) say that access to behavioral or mental health services for themselves and their family members would be very or extremely valuable.¹ However, only 39% say that their organization offers adequate mental health support.¹
Can employees receive care in a timely manner?
The national average length of time between a client’s first outreach or referral until their first mental health or substance use appointment is 48 days.2
Does the care provided extend to family members?
50% of working parents miss work to deal with their child’s mental health issues.3
Is the process of receiving care too challenging?
In a 2022 survey of 2,000 adults, 27% said they did not get mental health care or medication that they thought they needed in the past year.4 Among that 27%, the main reasons were unaffordability (20%), too busy or could not get the time off work (20%), afraid or embarrassed to seek care (20%), or unable to find a provider (13%).4
Does your offering affect performance and productivity?
Between 2018 and 2022, there was an increase of over 40% in mental health-related short-term disability claims.5
