Mental health struggles like stress, anxiety, and depression directly reduce work output by draining the brain power needed for focus, memory, and motivation. This leads to lower productivity, missed days, and making more mistakes on the job.
Poor mental health in the workplace causes high rates of absenteeism, presenteeism (working while unwell), and burnout. It leads to reduced productivity, more mistakes, strained team relationships, and higher staff turnover, ultimately harming both employee well-being and company revenue.
