Episode Synopsis

The World Economic Forum reports that by 2030, the global costs of mental health problems will total over $6 trillion.

However, since adults spend so much of their time at work, employers are in a unique position to make strategic decisions to improve employee mental health and well-being.  

According to social enterprise, Modern Health,  64% Of employees feel it’s important for their employer to offer more mental health benefits.
67% of employees feel it’s their company’s responsibility to provide access to mental health services.

Choosing to invest in mental health prevention and intervention options saves employers money on healthcare and other costs.
Global female entrepreneurs such as Arianna Huffington have created a free and open platform such as Thrive for wellness and productivity issues to be discussed more openly without fear of stigma and local mental health advocates such as Roxy Aila have conducted workplace research which have uncovered attitudes and behaviours. The challenge is to remove stigma, empathize, abandon the outdated approaches from the Industrial Revolution and show how model organizations are adopting best practices to create productive, happy, healthy, sustainable and profitable workplaces of the future where we can thrive and rise.
