PATHWAYS - Meet A Vendor
Shortlister hosted Dustin Keller, Ph.D., LPC-MHSP and Vice President of Products, and Dan Peskorse, Vice President of Business Development at Pathways, to share the latest workplace mental and behavioral health challenges and how Pathways at Work can help address them.
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH ISSUES IN THE WORKPLACE
Today, more than a year into the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of mental health issues across the United States continues to rise. As a result, health-conscious employers are rushing to address the behavioral health challenges of their employees.
Impacts on Employers and Employees:
1. Employers
- Depression and anxiety have a significant economic impact; the estimated cost to the global economy is $1 trillion per year in lost productivity
- For every $1 put into scaled-up treatment for common mental health disorders, there is a return of $4 in improved health and productivity
2. Employees
- Decline in job performance and productivity, including cognitive abilities
- Lessened engagement with one’s work
- Strained communication with coworkers
- Increased absenteeism, including PTO, FMLA, and sick leave usage
What Can Employers Do to Help?
- Proactively listen to the needs of your employees on how the pandemic and associated recovery continues to impact them
- Provide ongoing, preventative mental and behavioral health training to address key issues early, before the need for costly interventions arises
- Create a feedback loop to understand what is working and what needs to improve over time
