80% of employers in Ireland are not investing in workplace mental health, despite 76% acknowledging it as their responsibility*. This gap highlights the urgent need for organisations to move beyond awareness and take actionable steps to address mental health challenges in the workplace. Failure to act can result in absenteeism, presenteeism, and decreased productivity, all of which have significant costs for businesses. By investing in mental health training and support, organisations not only foster employee well-being but also build stronger teams, improve retention, and enhance workplace culture. Take the first step by enrolling in the Mental Health First Aid course from EHS International Founded by Chris Mee, designed to equip leaders and HR professionals with the tools to identify, understand, and support employees experiencing mental health challenges. Additionally, explore resources on conducting psychosocial risk assessments to create a safe and inclusive workplace. 🔴 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e-5EinB3 *Source: https://lnkd.in/eBXKuXPU #MentalHealth #HRLeadership #WorkplaceWellbeing #EmployeeEngagement #EHSInternational #MentalHealthFirstAid
