Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Mental Health Research
  • Workplace Psychology

Background:

  • Mental illness is the leading cause of long-term sickness absence in Australian workers.
  • Significant individual, employer, and societal costs are associated with mental illness in the workplace.
  • There is a lack of evidence-based guidance for employers on promoting employee mental health and wellbeing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a framework with key strategies for employers to foster mentally healthy workplaces.
  • To provide evidence-informed guidance for enhancing employee mental health and wellbeing.

Main Methods:

  • A narrative review was conducted to explore theoretical evidence.
  • The review examined research evidence for interventions supporting the proposed framework.
  • The framework comprises five key strategies for workplace mental health enhancement.

Main Results:

  • The framework includes five core strategies: minimizing harm in work design, building organizational resilience via management, enhancing personal resilience, promoting early help-seeking, and supporting recovery and return to work.
  • Theoretical and research evidence supports interventions for each of the five strategies.
  • The framework offers a structured approach for employers to assess and improve mental health support.

Conclusions:

  • The five-strategy framework provides a practical guide for employers to create mentally healthy workplaces.
  • Tailored solutions are necessary, but the framework offers a foundation for evaluating and enhancing existing services.
  • Implementing these strategies can mitigate the costs associated with mental illness in the workforce.
