Today\u2019s financial pressures are pushing organizations to freeze hiring, delay raises, or reduce benefits. But these moves, while fiscally motivated, often backfire. By amplifying the very conditions driving burnout and disengagement, they lead to productivity loss and attrition, eroding any short-term gains.<\/p>\n<h4>When Cost-Cutting Undermines ROI<\/h4>\n<p>Financial pressures have long affected employee well-being, but\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/enterprise-solutions\/insights\/ease-mental-health-impacts-of-economic-anxiety\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">today\u2019s economic climate is making it worse<\/a>. Only 47% of U.S. workers feel optimistic about the labor market, according to SHRM\u2019s April Current Events Pulse Survey, down from 61% in January 2025. Nearly half of workers (49%) reported that the current state of the economy has negatively impacted their mental health \u2014 placing their retention, engagement, and overall performance at risk.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"embed aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<div id=\"embed-a108fe7216\" class=\"cmp-embed\" data-cmp-data-layer=\"{&quot;embed-a108fe7216&quot;:{&quot;@type&quot;:&quot;shrm\/components\/embed&quot;,&quot;repo:modifyDate&quot;:&quot;2025-05-27T15:43:23Z&quot;}}\"><iframe id=\"datawrapper-chart-LJjer\" title=\"Degree of Optimism in U.S. Labor Market\" data-src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/LJjer\/2\/\" height=\"489\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-label=\"Column Chart\" data-external=\"1\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator sm-space aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<div id=\"separator-3877af0960\" class=\"cmp-separator\">\n<hr class=\"cmp-separator__horizontal-rule separator_hr\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"text aem-GridColumn aem-GridColumn--default--12\">\n<div id=\"text-e226374480\" class=\"cmp-text\">\n<p>This drop in confidence is paired with a troubling lack of support. While 92% of company leaders believe they offer the financial tools and guidance employees need to reach their life goals, just 52% of employees agree, according to data from financial wellness provider BrightPlan.<\/p>\n<p>That disconnect already costs businesses billions, and the stakes are only getting higher. Even before this recent wave of financial stress and pessimism, employers lost over seven hours of productivity per employee weekly due to money-related stress. That translates to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brightplan.com\/2024-wellness-barometer-survey#:~:text=Employees%20report%20losing%20an%20average%20of%207%20hours%20of%20productivity%20each%20week%20due%20to%20financial%20stress%2C%20costing%20employers%20$183%20billion%20annually.*\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Opens in new window\">$183 billion in annual losses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>When workers are anxious about their finances and lack the tools to change their situation, performance declines. Without meaningful support, cost-cutting measures like reduced pay or scaled-back benefits can push stress even higher, turning temporary savings into long-term losses.<\/p>\n<h4>Strategies for Protecting ROI and Well-Being<\/h4>\n<p>Avoiding short-term cuts and investing in financial wellness is a smart first step \u2014 it targets the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/news\/benefits-compensation\/employees--financial-stress-is-costing-employers-billions-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">$183 billion in lost productivity<\/a>\u00a0linked to employee financial stress. But that\u2019s just one part of the equation. Employers must further address the mental health challenges affecting retention, engagement, and workplace culture.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Reinforce and Clarify What\u2019s Already Available\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\nMost employers offer core mental health resources, but they\u2019re often misunderstood or underused. With\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/news\/benefits-compensation\/efforts-to-communicate-benefits-are--underwhelming---report-find\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">benefits communication still falling short<\/a>, organizations should consider reintroducing existing offerings through email, team meetings, or a centralized hub to eliminate confusion and improve uptake.<\/li>\n<li><b>Audit the Culture for Hidden Barriers\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\nPolicies designed to support mental health on paper mean little if daily practices discourage their use. Ask: Are employees penalized formally or informally for taking time off? Are workloads adjusted after burnout is flagged?\u00a0When everyday behavior reinforces official policies, employees are more likely to take full advantage of mental health resources such as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/tools\/how-to-guides\/how-to-develop-administer-paid-leave-programs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">paid time off<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><b>Equip Teams with Mental Health Training\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\nRecognizing a mental health concern is one thing; knowing how to respond is another, and most employees aren\u2019t equipped to do either. Only 12% of workers say their employer has someone onsite who has received mental health training,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.apa.org\/pubs\/reports\/work-in-america\/2023-workplace-health-well-being\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Opens in new window\">according to the American Psychological Association<\/a>. Expanding mental health training across roles, not just for HR or leadership, can help build a workplace where people feel safe asking for help \u2014 and feel supported when they do.<\/li>\n<li><b>Close the Gap Between Action and Insight\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\nMany employers believe their mental health initiatives make a positive difference, but few measure whether that\u2019s true. Tracking doesn\u2019t need to be complex or expensive. Monitor benefit usage,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/tools\/forms\/absenteeism-rate-spreadsheet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">absenteeism<\/a>, and employee sentiment, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/tools\/how-to-guides\/how-to-determine-turnover-rate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calculate turnover<\/a>\u00a0to build a base line. Use short pulse surveys or informal check-ins to gather additional context.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Often, small adjustments \u2014 such as tweaking benefits timing, delivery formats, or internal messaging \u2014 can improve participation and outcomes without adding cost. Building a simple feedback loop allows organizations to learn what\u2019s effective, make changes quickly, and demonstrate impact to leadership, securing investments in future mental health resources.<\/p>\n<h4>Mental Health Is a Business Strategy<\/h4>\n<p>Employers don\u2019t need to choose between protecting their bottom line and supporting employee well-being; the two are deeply connected, with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.norc.org\/research\/library\/national-safety-council-and-norc-at-the-university-of-chicago-an.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"Opens in new window\">employers seeing a $4 return for every $1 spent<\/a>.\u00a0In times of economic pressure, the most resilient organizations invest in people.<\/p>\n<p>With intentional communication,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/enterprise-solutions\/insights\/leaderships-impact-on-building-thriving-workplace-cultures\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">culture audits<\/a>, basic training, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/topics-tools\/flagships\/all-things-work\/reimagine-feedback-drive-engagement-growth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ongoing feedback loops<\/a>, companies can strengthen mental health without increasing spending to preserve performance, engagement, and trust when it matters most.<\/p>\n<p>By <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/about\/bio\/olivia-gebreamlak\"><span class=\"content__author\">Olivia Gebreamlak<\/span><\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shrm.org\/enterprise-solutions\/insights\/how-to-support-mental-health-times-of-financial-uncertainty\">SHRM BUSINESS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Image by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/users\/kschneider2991-4936815\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=2180338\">Kevin Schneider<\/a>\u00a0from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/\/?utm_source=link-attribution&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=image&amp;utm_content=2180338\">Pixabay<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mental health is not a personal issue confined to off-the-clock hours; it\u2019s a bottom-line business concern, and employers are feeling the heat.
