According to a report from , companies are paying more attention to employees’ , but there’s no evidence showing workers are actually gaining help from them as expected. “Many employees and leaders still believe that experiencing mental health challenges and performing successfully at work are at odds with each other,” says , founder and CEO of .

However, this can be changed. Companies need to address both the gaps in mental health knowledge and the fears related to having mental health issues. “It’s about on-going communication, training, organisational practices that help people feel safe and believe they will not be penalised or isolated for ups, downs or even significant issues with their mental health,” says Paul Allen, Global Leader and Senior Vice-president of Research and Total Wellbeing at .
