Employee Preference and Use of Employee Mental Health Programs: Mixed Methods Study

Employee Preference and Use of Employee Mental Health Programs: Mixed Methods Study

The workplace itself offers a promising environment for promoting good mental health by preventing mental health issues in early stages or mitigating the effects of existing mental disorders [10-12]. Many programs exist that are explicitly designed or used to support employees [13-16]. As no uniform umbrella term is commonly used for such programs, we refer to these programs as employee mental health programs (EMHPs).

Feasibility Testing a Meditation App for Professionals Working With Youth in the Legal System: Protocol for a Hybrid Type 2 Effectiveness-Implementation Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Juvenile probation officers and other professionals who work with youth in the legal system often experience high levels of chronic workplace stress [1,2]. These stressors can include managing large caseloads, supporting youth through traumatic events, and navigating tense home and court visits [1,3]. Many professionals say these stressors can wear on their mental health, contributing over time to elevations in anxiety, depression, and workplace burnout [2,4,5].

Perceptions and Experiences of Caregiver-Employees, Employers, and Health Care Professionals With Caregiver-Friendly Workplace Policy in Hong Kong: Thematic Analysis

In addition, employers (ERs) are increasingly adopting caregiver-friendly workplace policies (CFWPs) to mitigate some of the caregivers’ burden [7]. For instance, about 80% of ERs in the United States provide some CFWP [12]. CFWP typically includes flexible working arrangements, support services, and paid or unpaid leave [13] to help CEs manage their multiple roles and improve their work-life balance [7].

When this study began, the New Zealand health system was structured into 20 district health boards (DHBs) responsible for delivering national health care services through hospitals and clinical centers.

Investigation of Study Procedures to Estimate Sensitivity and Reliability of a Virtual Physical Assessment Developed for Workplace Concussions: Method-Comparison Feasibility Study

Workplace concussions impose a significant burden on the health care system, insurance providers, employers, and injured workers [1]. Conducting effective assessments after a workplace concussion is important for guiding intervention and facilitating recovery [2]. In this context, it is crucial to use measures that accurately capture deficits experienced by workers who are reporting persisting symptoms post concussion [3-5].

We would like to extend our gratitude to the author for their insightful comments [1] on our published article, “Promoting Health Literacy in the Workplace Among Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Study” [2]. Their input significantly enhances discussions around health literacy (HL) and oral health literacy (OHL) in diverse populations and work environments, particularly regarding the United Arab Emirates. OHL and HL are crucial for improving health outcomes.

Promoting Oral Health Literacy Among UAE Public Sector Employees

The recent publication “Promoting Health Literacy in the Workplace Among Civil Servants: Cross-Sectional Study” by Carrouel et al, in JMIR Public Health & Surveillance, is strikingly intriguing [1]. Harnessing the potential of health promotion, particularly health literacy in the workplace, is clever, given the fact that more and more employees spend a huge proportion of their daily hours at their workplace.
