The Importance of Mental Health in the Workplace

Although the economy is improving, its past performance has taken a toll on employees as well as on employers. Some important data points are the following:

• 53% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.

• Nearly half have trouble paying bills—and 1 in 3 had to made late payments in the past month.

• 6 in 10 U.S. adults worry about their money daily.

• 46% of employees say their mental health has impacted their ability to do their job.

The resulting pressures can only have negative effects on employees’ mental health and well-being. Employers can take one or more of the actions to help employees who are struggling:

• Behavioral support rooted in real habits, not just spreadsheets.

• A focus on eliminating debt, not just managing it.

• Coaching and accountability that guide them every step of the way.

• A structured plan that makes the next move logical, clear and achievable.

• Accessible tools that build lasting habits, not quick fixes.
