Beyond image: evaluating the perceived effectiveness of workplace mental health programs in the insurance sector.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mental health programs in the workplace have gained increasing attention as organizations strive to support employee well-being. However, the effectiveness and reception of these initiatives from the employee perspective still need to be studied.

Methods

A qualitative study used 30 semi-structured interviews with individuals from large insurance companies in Portugal. It focused on their perceptions of workplace mental health programs, stress, and time management training. The participants ranged in age from 25 to 55 years (average 38), with a slightly more significant proportion of women, reflecting the gender distribution in the Portuguese insurance sector. The sample had an average of 10 years of industry experience, from entry-level to middle-management roles.
