Description
Summary:[...]we discuss how organizations can use BI to support employees’ mental health. Furthermore, financial hardship may deter one from seeking treatment due to the high cost of health care, which leaves financially strained individuals unable to access the care that is necessary to treat the symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression that adversely affect their mental health (Rowan et al., 2013).
