What is the mental health index?
The Mental Health Index (MHI) helps you better understand your workplace culture around Mental Health. Mental wellbeing is a cornerstone not just of a healthy individual, but also a healthy organisation. When Mental Health literacy is understood, steps can be taken to optimise people, process and performance resulting in improved organisation performance.
The MHI measures how well your organisation performs against the 4 drivers and 7 dimensions of mental health literacy and positivity, and your ability to identify and appropriately support people in maintaining their mental fitness or addressing mental health issues. Doing this will improve business outcomes, not just personal outcomes for the individual and their family.
Employers are provided with a simple to navigate dashboard that can be incorporated with management and board reports along with a comprehensive report.
