Mental illness has been described as an epidemic that affects nearly a quarter of all Americans in their lifetime, often during their most productive working years. Managers who can design organizations that maximize mental health can minimize these risks and increase productivity. This notice serves as a guide to understanding mental health in the American workplace. Provides an overview of the most common mental illnesses among employees and aspects of the work environment that can make problems worse. It also looks at the cost to individuals and businesses of treating or not treating mental illness, and outlines the legal framework, insurance plans, and management responses to housing for employees struggling with mental health issues. To engage students in role play, the note includes a vignette featuring a struggling CEO.
