New report underscores gap between expectations and resources for managers in mental health strategy
As organizations increasingly prioritize mental health in the workplace, a recent report from BenefitsPro highlights a significant disconnect between expectations placed on managers and the support they receive.
The report reveals that 85% of benefits leaders consider managers to be vital to their mental health initiatives. However, fewer than 40% of organizations currently provide managers with the tools, training, or resources needed to fulfill this role effectively.
To bridge this gap, the report advocates for targeted support, including practical tools, mental health training, and access to data-driven insights. These measures can empower managers to foster healthier work environments, recognize signs of stress, and take proactive steps to support team wellbeing.
As the conversation around workplace wellness evolves, equipping managers with the right resources is emerging as a critical step in creating resilient, supportive organizational cultures.
