The effect of mental health on work productivity

1–2 minutes

Since 2014 productivity at work has been declining steadily. A study shows that in 2023 employees are losing 20% of their working hours. This isn’t only evident in paid time off, but also in the amount of work that is getting done while employees are physically at work and unable to complete their tasks due to distraction or impairment related to the state of their mental health. These impairments are keeping qualified and competent employees performing under their normal ability. What’s especially concerning is that we are seeing a major increase in this trend with employees under the age of 30.  

We know that your company has made investments, offering tools to help and have seen little change. We’ve watched as statistics show that a mere 25% of 4000 employees polled chose to utilize the mental health tools provided by their employers. 

We have a solution. Project Apollo offers a personalized, private assessment tool that guides employees to track their own progress and symptoms. Taking our role a step further, we offer a specialized implementation process to guide your HR managers and middle managers to increase use of this successful tool.

While other businesses are floundering and reading worrisome statistics about how this loss is costing the national economy billions of dollars, you can be making strides toward a solution that benefits both your company as well as your employees.
