Cost of mental health issues on the Canadian economy

What does it mean for
you as an employer?

2% of your workforce is on disability due to mental health issues, on average
>$600 annually for every employee, in direct costs
>$1000 per employee in indirect costs, due to presenteeism and departures
You offer a psychotherapy budget, an EAP, maybe even yoga classes, yet your costs are rising.

Why do mental health-related disability costs keep on rising despite additional investments in employee benefits?

There are barriers to current solutions and treatments

Reactive
  • No attempt at early detection.
  • Costs significantly higher when an issue develops.
Fragmented
  • Resources distributed among several points of contact.
  • No coordination of care for the patient.
  • Delays and miscommunications that cause slow recovery.
Incomplete
  • Traditional EAPs don’t provide any continuity of care, nor the capacity to prescribe.
  • If family doctor isn’t available, patient care and treatment delayed.
Stigmatized
  • Employees are reluctant to disclose problems, especially to their employers.
  • Employees are reticent to admit they may have a mental health issue and therefore, don’t seek help
Unknown
  • Employees are unaware of the benefits available to them.
  • Employees may be exposed to benefits during onboarding or launch, but there’s a lack of visibility afterwards

What if employers had a solution that addressed these barriers and more?
