Employees have been bruised by the events of the last two years and many are feeling a form of despair, anxiety and a lost sense of belonging. While the road ahead still appears rocky, employers can provide mental health options to help cultivate a feeling of belonging, encourage psychological safety, and provide tools and training to help struggling employees find the support they need.
In this episode, Wolfgang Seidl, leader of workplace Health consulting in the UK and Europe for Mercer Marsh Benefits, shares how employers can address mental health challenges through benefits and culture to encourage employees to bring their best self to work.
"We need something that I call a cycle of renewal, which is a concept comprised of several pillars aimed at helping businesses support employees through difficult times. And it reinforces the idea that employee well-being can increase engagement, resilience, and performance, and make employees feel like they belong by focusing more deeply on what drives and supports them."
