Addressing the Gap: Supporting Employee Mental Health in the Workplace

A new research report by HR.com's Research Institute reveals a significant disparity between employee mental health needs and organizational support. Despite 89 percent of organizations offering mental health benefits, only 28 percent are effective in managing employee stress. The study underscores a lack of tools to measure mental health and a deficiency in manager training, calling for a focus on organizational culture, manager preparedness, and leadership accountability to bridge this crucial gap.
