\nMost organizations are not taking a strategic approach to workplace mental health programs and services, despite significant investment in mental health benefits and services for workers and their dependents.<\/i><\/p>\n

\nOrganizations are disproportionately focused on addressing<\/i><\/p>\n

\nmental health problems and need to expand their focus to protecting and promoting positive mental health through upstream systems solutions.<\/i><\/p>\n

RUTHERFORD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–One Mind at Work, in partnership with Columbia University Mental Health + Work Design Lab, and corporate ethical standards measurement company Ethisphere, today released the first Quarterly Brief from the Mental Health at Work Index\u2122<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/a>
<\/a><\/p>\n

\nThe Mental Health at Work Index is the first-of-its-kind comprehensive, standardized assessment of organizational programs supporting workforce mental health. Nearly 50 leading global organizations – representing almost 2 million workers – have now completed the Index to measure their own efforts. In addition to providing a customized pathway from measurement to improvement, the data is confidentially and anonymously aggregated for benchmarking and identifying proven strategies.<\/p>\n

\nOf the organizations that have completed the Index, only one-third (33%) include the full continuum<\/p>\n

\nof Protection, Promotion, and Provision in their workforce mental health strategy. These findings indicate that organizations need to shift from a hyper focus on providing care to an comprehensive, upstream approach with attention on protection and promotion.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cA comprehensive mental health strategy includes the full continuum of protection of worker mental health, promotion of psychological well-being, and provision of resources, benefits, and services,\u201d said Dr. Kathy Pike, President and CEO of One Mind at Work<\/b>. \u201cHigh performing organizations depend on a healthy workforce. These organizations are leading the way in demonstrating the ability to use science-backed strategies to have a real impact on worker mental health, which fundamentally improves organizational performance across a wide range of metrics, including recruitment, retention, and reputation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nCraig Moss, Executive Vice President for Measurement at Ethisphere,<\/b> added, \u201cBuilding an authentic corporate culture requires that workers at all levels feel aligned with the stated values and purpose of the organization. When an organization commits to protecting and promoting worker mental health and well-being, workers and organizational systems are less stressed and more resilient. Feeling seen, heard, and cared for, workers are more likely to be aligned with the culture, which in turn, increases buy-in for working towards organizational goals. The results from the Index provide leaders with insights about where they are and what to prioritize. You can\u2019t improve what you don\u2019t measure.\u201d<\/p>\n
