ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Employee mental health and well-being (MH&WB) is critical to the productivity and success of organizations. Training line managers (LMs) in mental health plays an important role in protecting and enhancing employee well-being, but its relationship with other MH&WB practices is under-researched.AIMS:
To determine whether organizations offering LM training in mental health differ in the adoption of workplace- (i.e. primary/prevention-focused) and worker-directed (including both secondary/resiliency-focused and tertiary/remedial-focused) interventions to those organizations not offering LM training and to explore changes in the proportions of activities offered over time.METHODS:
Secondary analysis of enterprise data from computer-assisted telephone interview surveys. The analysis included data from organizations in England across 4 years (2020 nâ =â 1900; 2021 nâ =â 1551; 2022 nâ =â 1904; 2023 nâ =â 1902).RESULTS:
Offering LM training in mental health was associated with organizations' uptake of primary-, secondary-, and tertiary-level MH&WB activities across all 4 years. The proportion of organizations offering primary-, secondary- and tertiary-level interventions increased over time. On average, tertiary-level activities were most adopted (2020 80%; 2021 81%; 2022 84%; 2023 84%), followed by primary-level activities (2020 66%; 2021 72%; 2022 72%; 2023 73%) and secondary-level activities (2020 62%; 2021 60%; 2022 61%; 2023 67%).CONCLUSIONS:
Offering LM training in mental health is associated with the adoption of other MH&WB practices by organizations. Suggesting that organizations that are committed to the mental health agenda are more likely to take a holistic approach (including both worker and workplace strategies) to promoting workforce mental health, rather than providing LM training in isolation.
