In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge explores digital health and the existing gaps in mental health support during Mental Health Week. The discussion addresses the effectiveness and limitations of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and the importance of strategic investment in workplace mental health. Emphasizing the need for continuous support and reallocation of mental health spending, the conversation highlights the shortage of mental health practitioners.

Key Points

  • Workplace culture significantly impacts employee well-being and productivity, making it essential for organizations to foster a supportive and healthy environment.
  • The current mental health support systems in many workplaces are insufficient for employees with moderate to severe issues, leading to higher rates of absenteeism and reduced overall productivity.
  • Reevaluating and reallocating mental health benefit spending to ensure continuous and holistic care can improve employee retention and reduce long-term disability costs.
