Mental Health in the Workplace: How Teleconsultation Helps

The workplace is no longer a space of mere work. Being a place where employees spend most of their time, it has now become an extension of everyone who works in that space. This makes it imperative for the management to maintain the workplace in a way that helps employees grow - mentally, emotionally, and professionally. Organisations have slowly started realising the pitfall of not being able to address employees’ mental health concerns more actively. 

Therapy has become an effective and essential tool among the many ways adopted by most workspaces to encourage mental well-being. Therapy is a safe space for employees to talk about their professional or personal concerns and learn ways to cope with their daily stressors. This can help reduce stress, foster resilience, build empathy and develop healthy interpersonal relationships among employees.

Online therapy and teleconsultations are becoming more popular as a convenient way to promote mental wellness. People can choose a time and place according to their comfort since mental health professionals are available from dawn to midnight.

How does teleconsultation help? 

If you're an employer looking for a way to improve the well-being of your workforce, teleconsultation may be the solution you're looking for because it is:

Comfortable: Teleconsultation is a great way for people to access mental health services from the comfort of their own homes, helping them manage issues such as anxiety, depression, and substance-related disorders more effectively. 

Accessible: Teleconsultation can also make remote clinical care easier; people who need treatment for anxiety and depression don't necessarily have to opt for in-person - therapy and psychiatric consultations. The convenience of online consultation means that people can get diagnosed and treated sooner.

Convenience in medical consultation: Partnering with a teleconsultation service provider eases the effort one needs to put in to find a suitable doctor. It is difficult to find the right psychiatrist or therapist and carve out the time to visit them. People generally delay medical check-ups until the situation worsens to maintain regularity at work. Teleconsultation solves this problem, too. Your employees can get the help they need without disruptions to their schedule.

Assured quality of consultation: When looking for a doctor, there are so many choices. A teleconsultation platform that features vetted psychiatrists and therapists might help ease this decision-making process. You are able to choose from a wide selection of mental health practitioners who have proven records and years of experience. 

Reduced expenses on healthcare: Teleconsultations usually cost less than hospitals or private clinics - significantly since the Covid-19 pandemic has raised the cost of in-person visits exponentially. Plus, when it's part of an employee package, it can take away the financial strain from seeking mental health assistance. 

Better Employee Retention: Studies show that employees stay with organisations longer when offered medical benefits as part of their job perks; it simply demonstrates that health matters most to people. For a company, providing healthcare assistance is an important factor in staff retention.

While there will always be a place for face-to-face conversations in mental healthcare, we cannot ignore the convenience that teleconsultations bring to those who would otherwise find it difficult to receive such care.
