Employee mental health had already become a hot topic before the COVID-19 pandemic, but two years of pandemic-related uncertainty and disrupted work and parenting schedules have raised the stakes to unprecedented levels. For employers, finding resources to support employee mental health is key to maintaining productivity, as well as improving attraction and retention.

The article outlines five ways employers can support employee mental health through strategic use of wellbeing initiatives.

• Improve access to mental health services.
• Practice mindfulness.
• Encourage physical activity.
• Fuel the body and the brain.
• Take, and encourage, breaks.

With thorough planning and innovative thinking, employers can help employees remain physically and mentally healthy, both now and in the future.
