Abstract:
This paper is a review of the current literature on mental health in organizations and it targets an executive audience who aspires to be better equipped to address mental health issues in the workplace. It identifies different types of mental illnesses and symptomatic behaviors. It touches upon the U.S. law that prohibits discrimination against people living with mental illness. It discusses the stressors that affect the prevalence of mental illnesses and the stigmas associated with mental illnesses. It identifies several human resource strategies that can help managers to address mental health issues effectively in their organizations. Implementing those strategies may contribute to enhancing fairness and inclusion in organizations and therefore the likelihood of managing diversity successfully. Finally, it addresses remission from mental illnesses.
