Stress and Mental Illness at Work
Stress and Mental Illness in the Workplace is growing at an alarming rate. There have been three recent studies on this situation:
Burnout is now included as an occupational phenomenon.
35% of employees took a break from work because of a death, divorce or other personal situation of a loved one.
1 in 5 Canadians suffer from mental stress and it is now the major cause of disability claims.
84% of respondents said a flexible job situation would help them better manage anxiety.
Ask yourself some questions:
Are we aware of our employees issues in this area?
Is our benefit package meeting this growing need?
Is it time to adjust for our paramedical and counselling needs?
Should we be looking at a Health Spending Account as a supplement to our benefit plan?
Is our LTD benefit going to deliver?
Will an EAP plan address this area?
