Employee mental health challenges affect companies worldwide. Due to reduced productivity linked to anxiety and depression, for example, a total of 12 billion working days are lost globally every year. A recent survey with HR professionals across 10 Asian countries found that 82% of employees in this region still have significant mental strain. And across the ocean, UK employers still lose GBP 51 billion annually to poor mental health, with nearly half stemming from presenteeism, where employees are at work but are not fully functioning.
