Business Leaders Receive Failing Grade
$33 Billion In Lost Productivity Due To Mismanaged Stress And Mental Illness
Little Britain, February 17, 2004: Large or small, rural or urban - Canadian businesses must rely on the health of their workers to gain a competitive edge. Todays business leaders are not effectively addressing their employees mental health needs and this is depleting their bottom-line.
Dr. Evans from the Economic Roundtable On Mental Illness emphasised that business leaders not only have a moral duty, but a corporate obligation to address mental health issues in their workplaces. But how do business leaders go about handling these needs?
Beverly Beuermann-King, a stress and wellness expert, says that most companies ignore the issues or offer a one-time stress workshop with no follow-up and no other changes. A comprehensive wellness program addresses the sources of stress in their employees lives and pulls together a variety of strategies to deal effectively with the sources and related symptoms.
Workplace wellness programming should not be construed as a means of making employers responsible for their employees well-being. The 2-part focus is on creating a work environment that fosters well-being and one that targets the lifestyle choices made by workers in the hopes that healthier behaviours are learned.
Beuermann-King says that there are a variety of resources available to companies. Her website, www.WorkSmartLiveSmart.com, provides over 750 links for leaders to develop their own comprehensive wellness program. The biggest obstacle is not that leaders dont care about these issues, it is about finding solid information and resources to effectively address them.
