Need Support Now?
Balance is key to a thriving workplace.
When mental health is prioritized at work, employees feel supported, teams work more efficiently, and businesses grow stronger. Through the Healthy Work Healthy Mind program, Michigan employers and employees are stepping up as leaders and creating environments where wellbeing is part of the culture. The initiative, led by LEO, is setting a national example. It proves that when we invest in people’s mental health, we strengthen Michigan’s entire business community.
Why it Matters
Burnout Pushes Workers Out
Approximately 40% of employee turnover is attributed to job-related stress.
Mental Health is a Growing Expectation
81% of workers reported they will be looking for workplaces that support mental health in the future.
Supporting Employees Supports Business
Employees who strongly feel their employer cares about their overall wellbeing are 3× more likely to be engaged at work.
There’s Strong Return on Investment
For every $1 invested in mental health support, employers can expect a $4 return through reduced absenteeism and enhanced productivity.
"The Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity provided our members with a practical, enlightening presentation on workplace mental health. Recognizing the significance of mental well-being in the workplace is crucial, and their insights brought to light new, simple strategies to manage stress in the workplace."
