Welcome to The Shape of Mind, where we dive deep into the evolving mental health and well-being landscape. Today, we’re tackling a critical question: Why aren’t workplace well-being programs achieving better outcomes?
Despite global corporate spending on wellness programs projected to exceed $94.6 billion by 2026, mental health challenges continue to rise, leaving many to wonder where we’re going wrong. The answer lies in a misplaced focus — targeting individual solutions like apps and therapy while overlooking systemic workplace issues such as excessive workloads and unsupportive management.
In this episode, we’ll unpack why traditional approaches often fall short, explore the phenomenon of “carewashing,” and share research-backed strategies to create meaningful change. Join us as we move beyond surface-level fixes to envision workplaces where mental health initiatives drive true transformation for both employees and organizations.
