ZHL Rajasthan - Why Employers Should Pay Attention to Their Employees' Mental Health
                     ZHL Rajasthan - Why Employers Should Pay 
Attention to Their Employees' Mental Health?
Mental health and wellbeing are increasingly being 
recognised as important issues in society and the 
workplace. But are employers really doing enough to 
support employees or is it becoming more of a ‘tick 
box’ culture?
Ziqitza understands the concerns related to Mental 
health which have become a top priority for employers 
over the last few years and with good reason. 
Conditions such as anxiety and depression can cost the 
global economy $1 trillion each year in lost 
productivity, according to the World Health 
Organization.
Large employers are boosting mental health resources as 
they recognize the strain the pandemic is putting on their 
employees. Two-thirds of employees report that poor mental 
health has undercut their job performance during the COVID-
19 pandemic, and 40% of employees are battling burnout. 
Employees may be working relentlessly amid economic 
uncertainty with few social outlets, and possibly juggling 
childcare to boot, eviscerating any separation between work 
and the rest of their life.
Ziqitza Rajasthan found that promoting employee mental 
health at work is crucial if employers want to attract and 
retain committed employees. Almost half of employees 
45.6% would look to move jobs if their employer didn’t 
provide enough support in relation to their mental health.
Mental health encompasses our emotional, psychological, and 
social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. According 
to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is defined 
as a state of well-being in which every individual realises his or her 
own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work 
productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to 
her or his community.
Dr. Datar, Ziqitza Healthcare says depression and anxiety are 
two of the commonest mental disorders that affect our ability 
to work, and productively. A recent study led by WHO found 
that more than 300 million people around the world suffer 
from depression and another 260 million from anxiety, with 
many living with both conditions and that such disorders cost 
the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity each year.
Ziqitza Rajasthan & ZHL Rajsthan understands the impact of 
work alone on personal identity, self-esteem, and social 
recognition is hard to measure, most mental health 
professionals today agree that the workplace environment can 
have a significant impact on an individual’s mental well-being. 
Given that we spend half of our waking hours at work, our 
experience in the workplace is unsurprisingly one of the most 
influential factors to our mental health.
People don’t visit mental health counselors when dealing 
with debilitating work stress. Some feel therapy is too 
expensive, and for some treatment doesn’t fit into their 
schedules. As a result, the modern workforce is suffering in 
silence. Here’s where Ziqitza Corporate Wellness Solutions 
help your employee stay fit mentally and physically. Where 
your employees can get easy access to the Doctor on Site or 
Doctor on call available for counseling. 
Ziqitza Limited has observed as organizations become more 
open to publicly talking about employee mental health, 
organizations can do their part in promoting positive mental 
health by becoming an advocate. Set manageable work 
hours, train supervisors to lead in a successful manner, have 
mental health resources readily available, and promote 
healthy living. 
Benefits Of Prioritizing Your Employees’ Mental 
Health
 Researchers found mental illnesses like depression, stress, and 
anxiety to be just as debilitating as some organic medical diseases 
like arthritis. This is why it's important to create an environment 
that promotes mental well-being and provides resources and 
benefits for employees with such illnesses. 
Some benefits of doing so include: 
1. Reduced Sick Absenteeism:  You’d be surprised at the 
percentage of employees who call in sick when they’re 
too depressed to get out of bed. Sick absenteeism causes 
repercussions like reduced pay. A better workplace 
encourages more people to come to work instead of 
avoiding it, reducing the percentage of absenteeism.
 2. Better Work Output: We all know that mental illnesses 
can be disabling and make it hard to find motivation. 
Employees with mental illnesses may not be able to put in 
their full effort at work, and after a while, it could affect 
their work quality. Prioritizing your employees’ mental 
health can help improve their work output.
3. Healthy Employer-Employee Relationships: Who 
doesn’t want to work in a friendly environment, free of 
hostility and toxicity? Such a situation can only be 
achieved if you convey to your employees that their 
well-being is important.
Although mental health services have to be 
multidimensional to be effective, the workplace is an 
appropriate and important environment in which to 
educate individuals about mental health problems. 
Employee mental health can make all the difference in 
the bottom line of the company. Take care of the mental 
health of your team, and make your company prosper.
