Problems eN-Action Psychology Addresses
At eN-Action Psychology, we help employers focus on managing mental health at work. By acting as the mental health case manager for your organisation, here are just a few of the issues that we can help you solve:
- Overlooked mental health concerns. Sometimes, even with the best intentions, businesses can mismanage the assistance they give to an employee struggling with mental health issues. Suggestions, strategies and work-related modifications, when not fully informed by evidence based psychological knowledge, can hinder or delay recovery, and in some instances, exacerbate symptoms and the situation. Employees may, at times, perceive the strategies and support provided through a negative lens, resulting in a loss of trust and disengagement from the workplace. By utilising mental health case management services at your business, you can more quickly identify the key drivers for recovery and focus on employees getting the right help that they need.
- Economic impacts. Although the cost of inaction can be significant when it comes to employee mental health and wellbeing, implementing a health strategy that fails to address the whole bios psychosocial picture can also cost an organisation through wasted resources, employee, team and leader disengagement and additional risk.
- Long-term organisational health. Studies show that businesses that invest in targeted employee health and wellness reap the benefits in multiple areas. Productivity, employee retention, morale, company culture, and corporate financial health are all categories in which an investment in mental health can pay dividends. When it comes to assisting individual employees recover from a psychological illness or injury, whether it is work or not work related, companies at the forefront of championing tailored care and wellbeing enjoy reputational boosts amongst employees and customers alike.
