Detection and disclosure of workplace mental health challenges: an exploratory study from India
2024
Overview
Workplace mental health challenges have emerged as a significant concern post-pandemic. Despite this, the pervasive stigma surrounding mental illness leads to the concealment of symptoms and reluctance to seek professional help among employees. This study aims to explore the perception of different stakeholders towards the ‘Detection and disclosure’ of workplace mental health challenges in the Indian context. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with human resource professionals, counselors, and employees who had previously experienced mental health challenge(s). Thematic analysis was done to identify recurring themes and sub-themes. Three critical pathways were identified:
minimizing the inhibitory factors
, including lack of awareness, denial, low self-efficacy, stigma, and underestimating organizational capability;
maximizing the encouraging factors
, including psychological safety, perceived social support, and communicating success stories; and
implementing supportive organizational practices
, including generating awareness and literacy, build the organizational capability, strengthen the role of managers, leadership advocacy, policies, and processes. By fostering a culture of support and prioritizing employee well-being, organizations in India can create healthier and more resilient work environments, benefiting both individuals and the larger society.
