Mental Health Data Theft: What Employers Must Do to Protect Employees

In today’s workplace, mental health and well-being programs thrive on tech solutions, including mental wellness apps, tele-mental health services, and virtual counselling. Each of these initiatives involves employees volunteering sensitive information about themselves, including their age, home address, mental health conditions, current and past treatments, as well as any comorbidities. As a sensitive issue, therefore, employers and HR managers need to make drastic moves to help rebuild trust among the workforce and retain their best hands.

Answering Anxiety and Stress: How Companies Are Transforming Access to Mental Health Treatment

Nearly 200 million people around the world are feeling more stressed, and the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened this problem. Gallup’s 2020 Negative Experience Index revealed that 40% of respondents experienced an elevated level of stress compared to the previous 15 years, and 2021 certainly didn’t do us any favors. Employers know that COVID has raised the levels of stress, anxiety, social isolation, and depression across the globe. With many people continuing to social distance by avoiding large gatherings that could infect them with new coronavirus variants, stress levels are only amplified. In addition, the ups and downs of COVID infection rates and dashed hopes of wanting to see extended family and friends have left people feeling down. Another leading cause of stress is weighing whether work environments are safe enough to warrant a full return to the office as opposed to working remotely or with a hybrid schedule as businesses contemplate how they can meet objectives while accounting for the overall health needs of employees.

Is Kindness the Key to Solving the Mental Health Epidemic?

Around 1 in 5 (21%) adults experienced some form of depression in early 2021 (27 January - 7 March); this is an increase since November 2020 (19%) and more than double that observed before the COVID-19 pandemic (10%). We’re living in the midst of a mental health epidemic, and it’s clearer than ever that amongst boosting the array of professional solutions, kindness could be the secret to improving well-being. Showing love isn’t just reserved for your partner or Valentine’s Day; it can be extended to colleagues, friends, even strangers. Simply being kind to someone can make a massive difference in their outlook and general mood, and your own. How can kindness as a practice be used as a tool within psychotherapy, and what are the advantages?
