Amid climbing rates of suicide and worker stress and depression, employee wellness and mental health have become hot topics for employers. Starbucks is the latest to draw attention to the issue, by bolstering its mental health benefits and partnerships. The coffee chain already offers short-term counseling to all U.S. workers, but improvements will be made using feedback from employees and mental health experts, per HR Dive. Only 4 to 5 percent of the company’s staffers actually take advantage of the mental health benefits offered, which include inpatient and outpatient mental health care, and six visits to a mental health provider at no cost, CNN Business reports. John Kelly, senior vice president of global public affairs and social impact for Starbucks, told CNN Business the company will involve employees in crafting a better plan.
