When it's Important to Stay in the Know.
Empowering Team Members with Mental Health Support
When employees feel supported both mentally and emotionally, it shows in everything from productivity and morale to long-term retention. But even the best benefits fall short if your team doesn’t know how to access them, or if they don’t feel encouraged to do so. Taking steps to simplify, personalize and promote available resources can make all the difference.
This Mental Health Awareness Month, BCH’s employee benefits pros share practical ways to help employees fully engage with their mental health benefits so you can create a healthier, happier work environment when it matters.
Helping Employees Make the Most of Mental Health Support
Offering quality mental health benefits is only part of the equation. Employees also need to understand, access and feel comfortable using them. These strategies can help ensure your team takes full advantage.
Make Mental Health Tools Engaging and Personalized: Incorporate digital tools that are easy to use, proven to work and tailored to the individual needs of your employees. This helps ensure team members get the right support when they need it most.
Ensure Support is Easily Accessible: Offer programs that are inclusive and available to all team members, whether they prefer in-person support or digital options such as apps and virtual counseling.
Connect Mental Health Resources with Existing Systems: Make sure digital tools blend seamlessly with existing systems and programs such as your employee assistance program (EAP). This makes it easier for employees to find what they need, when they need it.
Help Employees Understand What’s Available: Employees often don’t realize what mental health support the company offers — and they often feel too hesitant to ask. Communicate clearly and regularly, and train managers to share this info with their teams.
Communicate Benefits with Clarity and Care: Share details about mental health benefits in a way that’s straightforward, compassionate and free of stigma, so employees feel encouraged to use them if needed.
Supporting Mental Health in the Workplace
Employee well-being plays a critical role in productivity, retention and overall workplace culture, but mental health challenges often go unnoticed or unaddressed. This helpful guide offers insights into the real impact of mental health on today’s workforce, along with strategies employers can use to foster a more supportive environment.
