Linked – Work wellbeing programmes are ineffective, companies must restructure to help mental health, study
I think this statement says it all:
A recent study has found that wellbeing programmes are ineffective but companies could help employees by restructuring.
The folks who used the resources wound up being no better off than the employees who didn’t. This is not good, and it’s also not surprising. Mental health issues at work aren’t a case of individual employees bringing their mental health struggles to work and needing some assistance. It’s a workplace that is more likely to cause mental health issues that can’t be fixed by individual employees.
There’s a reason this is happening in Europe, and I have no doubt you’d find the same thing in the US. Our Employee Assistance programs try to help the individual when it’s the system that is the problem. You can’t solve the problem if you don’t identify it.
