Support your employees and improve productivity: Introducing mental health benefits for Remote EOR employees

Mental health is a crucial aspect of overall wellbeing and has a significant impact on workplace productivity. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), depression and anxiety costs the global economy an estimated $1 trillion per year in lost productivity.

When employees face mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, or stress, it can have a significant impact on your business. These issues often result in reduced concentration, increased absenteeism, and a higher likelihood of turnover.

As a result, proactively addressing mental health needs can generate substantial benefits for both your people and your organization.

• Employees with mental health support are more likely to stay focused, motivated, and engaged, leading to better overall performance.

• Preventive mental health care can help avoid costly treatments and reduce overall healthcare expenses by addressing issues before they escalate.

• A supportive workplace culture that prioritizes mental well-being enhances your company’s reputation, making it a more appealing place to work for top talent.

With this in mind, we’re excited to announce the launch of our Global Mental Health benefit in 83 countries, in partnership with Oliva. Available to employers using our employer of record (EOR) services, the benefit can enhance your team’s well-being, drive stronger employee retention, and increase productivity.
