In today’s high-paced corporate world, mental well-being is not just a trending topic, but a vital determinant of an organization’s success. The significance of mental health, especially concerning employee retention, is increasingly apparent in recent studies made by the National Library of Medicine.

The relationship between employee mental health and job performance has been one of the key concerns in workplace science 2021. The data paints a stark picture: mental health issues rank among the top three reasons for employee turnover. Astonishingly, about 50% of millennials and 75% of Gen-Zers have exited roles in the past primarily due to mental health challenges.[1]  This churn doesn’t merely disrupt team dynamics; it has tangible fiscal implications, draining the U.S. economy of a staggering $1 trillion annually in terms of lost productivity.
