Life on the job site moves very fast. Your workers are tasked with hard labor, tight deadlines, all under less than ideal, and sometimes unsafe, conditions.
All the stress that comes with the job can sometimes wear on your people and lead to poor mental health.Every year depression affects one in every five employees and costs American businesses $210 billion in medical bills and lost productivity.
In fact, for every worker with a depressive disorder, a company loses an average of 32 productive workdays per year.Depressed employees are also four to five times more likely to experience work-related problems than employees with chronic physical illnesses like diabetes or heart disease.
This is why it’s important to recognize the struggles employees might be going through and equip them with ways to deal with their issues.
