Why Invest in Workplace Mental Health
A thriving workplace isn’t just about productivity it’s about creating an environment where employees feel supported, valued, and mentally healthy.
In India, 80% of employees have faced mental health challenges in the past year, but 39% hesitate to seek support due to workplace stigma. The cost of ignoring mental health is high, impacting not just individuals but business outcomes.
Why It Matters:

Reduced absenteeism and burnout

Improved retention and loyalty

Improved productivity and job satisfaction

Stronger team collaboration and communication

Enhanced emotional intelligence and leadership skills
