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.
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
business in Queenstown.
