Employee mental health statistics in Mauritius
Mental health is a very real and very common issue, affecting people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. In Mauritius, it is estimated that one in four people will experience a mental health problem at some point in their life. Employees who are struggling with their mental health are more likely to take days off work, be less productive when they are at work, and even leave their job altogether. This costs businesses money and can impact the bottom line.
It is therefore in everyone’s best interest to create a workplace environment where employees feel comfortable discussing their mental health and where support is available if needed. There are a number of things businesses can do to promote employee mental health, including:
- Encouraging open communication about mental health
- Providing training on how to spot the signs of mental ill-health
- Offering support through Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
