Boosting Profits through Mental Health Awareness

In our previous article, we discussed the hidden costs of mental health in NZ workplaces.
Now, let’s explore the silver lining that smart business owners in Queenstown are starting to
recognize – addressing mental health isn’t just good for your team, it’s great for your profits.
Let’s be straightforward: mental health challenges in your workforce directly impact your
bottom line. Decreased productivity, increased absenteeism, and high turnover rates can
silently drain your profits. But here’s the exciting part: by focusing on these issues, you can
transform potential losses into significant gains.

How to Turn Mental Health Awareness into a Business Advantage

  1. Make Success a Team Effort
    Instead of shouldering all the responsibility, involve your team in making the business
    successful. When employees feel they have a stake in the outcome, their engagement
    skyrockets, and so does your bottom line.
  1. Invest in Your Team, Invest in Your Business
    The cost of addressing mental health through training and support is far less than the
    constant cycle of hiring and rehiring. It’s simple math that adds up to bigger profits
  1. Build a Resilient Business
    A team with strong emotional intelligence and good mental health is more adaptable and
    creative. This resilience translates directly into business stability and growth, helping you
    stay on top of the competitive nature of Queenstown trading.
  1. Create Ownership at All Levels
    Encourage everyone, from managers to seasonal staff, to take ownership of their role. This
    sense of responsibility can dramatically reduce turnover and increase overall performance; it
    increases engagement, provides a sense of pride and job satisfaction, and your staff become
    loyal to you.
  1. Foster a Culture of Open Communication
    When team members feel comfortable discussing challenges, you can address issues before
    they impact your profits.

Putting It into Action

Start by openly acknowledging the importance of mental health in your workplace. Engage
your team in creating solutions – they often have insights you might miss. Be open to evolving
your management style and business practices.

Remember: addressing mental health isn’t just about being a “good” employer – it’s a smart
business move. Happy, healthy employees are more productive, provide better customer
service, and are more likely to stick around, saving you the substantial costs of high turnover.
In Queenstown’s competitive business landscape, the leaders who excel are those who
recognize that employee mental health and business success are two sides of the same coin.
By investing in your team’s well-being, you’re directly investing in your business’s profitability
and longevity.

addressing it are even higher. It’s not just good for your team – it’s essential for your bottom
line. Take this opportunity to lead the way in creating a mentally healthy, highly profitable
