The state of Utah stands out with its thriving economy and a remarkable roster of successful companies, contributing to our business community’s continued success. However, amidst this prosperity, the prevalent challenge of mental health looms large. As highlighted in “Utah Informed,” a recent publication from the Kem C Gardner Policy Institute, a staggering 25.3% of Utahns acknowledged grappling with mental illness, surpassing the national average of 22.8%.
So, what do these statistics mean for our state’s business community? It means that it is increasingly imperative for workplaces to actively contribute to addressing this issue. The needs of today’s workforce are complex and require a holistic management approach. If you’re not sure where to begin, you’re not alone — and there are resources available to help.
