January Member Meeting: Staff in Crisis: Mental Health in the Workplace

Employees have faced extenuating circumstances over the last nine months that have exacerbated mental health challenges in the workplace. According to new research by the Society for Human Resource Management, between 22% and 35% of U.S. employees are experiencing symptoms of depression as they live through the COVID-19 pandemic. Untreated mental health costs the US economy $200 billion, according to another study. And untreated depression costs employers an average of $9,450 per employee per year, says a third.
 
As employers, it's imperative that we are aware of the warning signs of mental health issues within our teams and respond proactively by promoting initiatives to prevent and respond to the emotional well-being of employees.
