Mental health is a universal issue critical not only to individual health and well-being, but also to workforce sustainability and organizational performance. Leaders increasingly understand the imperative to support workers' mental health but are often unsure of where to start or how to prioritize their actions. Numerous guidance documents for employers have emerged in recent years, but without conducting their own needs and risk assessment and evaluating the policies and practices they have in place, employers are left unaware of specific risks their workers face, effectiveness of their current practices, and actions they could take that would have the greatest positive impact. To address this gap, Columbia University's Mental Health + Work Design Lab, mental health non-profit One Mind at Work, and corporate ethical standards measurement company Ethisphere partnered to develop a comprehensive framework and corresponding self-assessment to help employers evaluate their organizational-level workforce mental health efforts and strategically invest in evidence-based practices. In this article, we detail the range of organizational-level practices necessary to effectively support and advance workforce mental health and present a framework for assessing and improving these efforts.
心理健康是一个普遍问题，不仅对个人的健康和幸福至关重要，而且对劳动力的可持续性和组织绩效也至关重要。领导者越来越明白支持员工心理健康的紧迫性，但往往不确定从何处入手或如何对自己的行动进行优先排序。近年来，针对雇主的众多指导文件纷纷出台，但如果雇主不进行自身的需求和风险评估，不评估他们现有的政策和做法，就不会意识到员工面临的具体风险、当前做法的有效性，以及他们可以采取的能产生最大积极影响的行动。为了填补这一空白，哥伦比亚大学的心理健康与工作设计实验室、心理健康非营利组织“职场一心”（One Mind at Work）以及企业道德标准衡量公司“道德圈”（Ethisphere）合作开发了一个全面的框架和相应的自我评估工具，以帮助雇主评估其组织层面为员工心理健康所做的努力，并对基于证据的做法进行战略投资。在本文中，我们详细介绍了有效支持和促进员工心理健康所需的一系列组织层面的做法，并提出了一个评估和改进这些努力的框架。
