The Price of Making a Living Shouldn't Be Your Life
Reduce workplace stress; Accomplish performance and structural goals
Home and work related stress are quickly becoming one of the nation's leading causes of absences, low productivity and employee turnover. The number one medicine that employers buy for their employees through their prescription programs are anti- depressants. Clinical depression is the leading cause of disability worldwide in persons over seven years old. Mental Illness represents three of the top ten disabling conditions in America.
Today's Human Resource professional is the manager of his/her organization's most important asset¾employees. Stress and mental illness are impacting record numbers of employees today. What affects employees, affects their employers. Yet Human Resources have been given few tools and little guidance in working with employees who are going through emotional crisis. Elder care, problems with children, work/life balance are just a few of the stressors that impact on attendance and productivity. Workplace stress is quickly becoming one of the most serious work related heath issues in America today. Attitudes towards persons with mental illnesses are filled with fear, misunderstanding and stereotypes.
