'Call to Action' on mental health and well-being in the workplace
Experts prioritize four projects to improve employee mental health
What steps can employers take to reduce the high costs and health impact of mental health issues? An expert Advisory Council has developed a set of recommendations for improving mental health and well-being in the workplace, according to a report in the April Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine.
The Advisory Council defines four "concrete and achievable next steps" toward "making a measurable difference in public mental health through workplace practices." Ron Z. Goetzel, PhD, of Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health is lead author of the new report.
