“Sound mind in a sound body is the recipe for a Happy and Healthy life”
Mental health affects everyone; and yet it has long been a topic that is best avoided. Mental health is not merely the absence of any mental ailment or condition, it means being able to control one’s thoughts and lead a happy and fulfilling life. It is defined as a state of well-being in which individuals realise their own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and happily, and are able to make positive contribution to the community. It is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being.
While there is a lot of awareness about the importance of physical health, not enough attention has been given to the topic of mental health.
When it comes to the working population and on the job performance, mental health conditions have double the negative impact. While physical sickness may lead to the employees being absent from work, mental health conditions may result in absenteeism and may also bring productivity down even when the employee is physically present.
Statistics show that reducing just one health risk increases an employee’s on-the-job productivity by 9% and cuts absenteeism by 2%
Organisations can tackle this by adopting a comprehensive wellness program that takes care of the employee’s overall well-being.
An Employee Assistance Program or an EAP is a wellness program that offers authentic information, health risk assessments, provides guidance, short-term counselling, self-help tips on matters related to mental health. A well designed EAP should be comprehensive, completely integrated and should include follow-up services to employees. It should assure complete confidentiality to the employee, while capturing the direct and indirect benefits at organizational level.
