Do workplace mental health programs work: examining their clinical and financial ROI
There are a plethora of programs out there that promise to improve mental health at the workplace. But do they actually work?
The problem with many of the programs is the clinical and financial impact is not measured so we have at best, a fuzzy idea of how effective they actually were.
This paper by Bondar et al. 2022, however, show very clear impacts of their program on the mental health of the employees, that had both clinical and financial repercussions. It is one of the few papers out there that calculate the ROI of a program and make you have faith again that such programs, if well-designed with a good uptake, have the potential to turn the mental health of your employees around.
