Mental Health Strategy Series: The Role of Mental Health in the Workplace

There’s no denying that mental health and employee engagement are directly related. Things like stress, anxiety, depression, and burnout can make engagement feel impossible, even if an employee has the best intentions. 

Your employees might recognize that there is an opportunity in front of them but if they’re struggling with their mental health, they need extra support to remain engaged. In fact, according to a Public Health Agency of Canada’s Survey on COVID-19 and Mental Health, found that 30% of disability claims are related to mental health, so taking action to safeguard your employees’ wellness is more important than ever. 

You are much more likely to retain your workforce and see improved signs of employee engagement when you place a priority on mental health support in the workplace. 

Questions for leaders:

Are you noticing any signs of burnout or stress among your employees?

Are you potentially feeling it yourself?

Do you have any mental health support systems in place?

How to Create a Culture of Engagement

If you want your employees to adopt any pattern of behavior, you must be their support system. Not only that, but you also need to set an example.

To create a healthy workplace culture that promotes engagement, consider the following steps.

–        Before asking employees to take on any new routine, start doing the routine yourself and let them notice.

–        Always be willing to do the work you ask someone else to do.

–        If you see someone struggling and you have time to help, do it–being a manager doesn’t mean you’re above low-level work.

–        Always reinforce good behavior and show appreciation.

With these helpful tips in mind, managers have the power to cultivate a positive pattern of workplace behavior.
