Leveraging AI to Support Employee Mental Health and Well-Being

Employees are experiencing more stress and burnout than ever before, yet many are unaware of the mental health resources available to them. According to a survey by the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and Ipsos, more than 1 in 4 workers don’t even know if their employer offers mental health benefits, and only about half know how to access them. This lack of awareness leads to underutilization of crucial resources that could improve employee well-being, productivity, and retention.

Why Employees Aren’t Using Mental Health Benefits

Despite employees expressing a need for mental health resources, many fail to take advantage of them due to several key reasons:

• Lack of Awareness – Many employees are unsure if mental health support exists within their organization.
• Stigma and Embarrassment – Fear of being judged prevents employees from seeking help.
• Complex Access and Confusion – Workers often don’t know where to find the information or how to use their benefits.
• Time Constraints – Busy schedules make it difficult for employees to navigate HR processes or seek mental health assistance.
