(11/11) The Paralysis of Depression in the Workplace

By Joanne Kaldy / November 11, 2019

Depression causes up to 200 million lost workdays annually and costs employers as much as $44 billion. You can have a healthier, more productive workforce if you have processes in place to identify and help employees who experience depression. Among the most useful steps:

  • Create a supportive workplace that destigmatizes depression and encourages employees to get help.
  • Create a culture where employees feel safe sharing their feelings. Employee resource groups can help reduce the stigma around depression and offer awareness and training.
