Mental health issues in the workplace: a case for a new managerial approach.

Anger, stress, and depression in the workplace are growing concerns among management. Traditionally, health outcomes have functioned under the realm of workplace health professionals. This study assessed whether a traditional worksite health promotion program had an impact on mental health factors. The results suggested that worksite health promotion programs play a limited role in ameliorating work-related mental health outcomes. Rather, management must play a greater role in addressing workplace stress, anger, and depression.
