In today's fast-paced and demanding work environments, supporting employee mental health isn't just a moral imperative — it's a strategic advantage.
Employers worldwide are prioritizing employee wellbeing, making it a major factor in their benefits strategies.
- 55% of employers have identified mental health as their primary area for enhancement over the next three years (Source: Benefits Trends Survey, 2025, WTW)
- 65% of employers do not consider themselves effective in supporting the emotional wellbeing of their workforce (Source: 2024 Wellbeing Diagnostic Survey, WTW)
- 41% of employees would welcome greater support from their employer regarding emotional wellbeing in the coming three years (Source: 2024 Global Benefits Attitudes Survey, WTW)
Employers are increasingly prioritising mental health by implementing a range of initiatives. These measures include providing manager training, ensuring leadership visibility and delivering targeted communications to employees. Additionally, organisations are offering benefits such as Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) to enhance mental health awareness, foster resilience and support employee wellbeing.
The complexity of the EAP vendor marketplace, the wide range of employee needs, ongoing changes in mental health issues and increasingly strict psychological health regulations all contribute to the difficulty companies face in providing consistent and effective care on a broad scale.
