Workplace well-being initiatives don't boost employee mental health

"The mental health of people who undertake mindfulness or meditation courses offered by their employer is generally no better than those who are not offered such programmes."


"Instead of offering these initiatives, Fleming suggests that employers focus on bettering the work environment. For example, they could assess whether someone’s workload is too taxing, if they are putting in too many hours or if management strategies could be improved, he says."
