About the Mental Health Index.

The mental health and wellbeing of your workforce is critical when it comes to overall health – and productivity at work.

The Mental Health Index (MHI) surveys 16,000 workers from around the world. Published monthly, the Index provides a measure of the current mental health status of employed adults. The increases and decreases in the MHI are intended to predict cost and productivity risks, and help you understand where to focus and the things that make the most meaningful difference.
