have Employee Assistance Programs that provide mental wellness resources like counselors for employees. But even with the growing implementation of employee mental well-being programs across the country, why is it that only 1% of workers use them?
In the 2022 Philippine HR Expo, Infinit Care General Manager Anne Ordoña delivered a keynote speech on why the EAPs in the country leave much to be desired – as evidenced by their findings that on average, 54% of workers in the Philippines have reduced well-being and a whopping 10% of the workforce is in mental crisis.
In the third quarter of 2022, the Infinit Care team conducted the most extensive, cross-vertical employee wellness survey in the Philippines, guided by a 5-point assessment developed by the World Health organization – the WHO-5 Index. With 2,645 respondents, Infinit Care was able to uncover fresh insights on the status of the Filipino workforce’s general state of well-being.
