Workforce mental wellness is a complex issue, with symptoms that can present in a number of common ways:

Different mental health conditions can often cause the same symptoms, making diagnosis difficult. In fact, many mental health issues are initially misdiagnosed.⁴

Mental wellness benefits through Guardian feature a proprietary assessment that uses machine learning technology to scan for several mental health conditions. That means every employee receives a personalized care plan with easy access to Spring Health’s diverse network of mental health care providers. To receive the right treatment, diversity matters. Spring Health’s network is three times more diverse than the average network: with 15 unique racial groups represented, 47% of providers identify as Black, Indigenous, or People of Color, 37% specialize in LGBTQ+ issues, and 13 languages spoken fluently.7

What are some other early signs of mental health concerns?

Recognizing the symptoms of mental health challenges is only part of the battle. Is your workforce prepared to take action?

The number of employees who have received training varies by seniority.5

  • Senior leadership, 31%
  • Managers/supervisors, 56%
  • Employees, 55%
