Depression in the Workplace Introduction – Background and Statement of the Problem The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that in any given year, about 18.8 million adults in the United States – that is 9.5% of the adult population – will suffer from depression. About 80% of those 18.8 million, the CDC explains, will experience "some level of functional impairment," and 27% of the 18.8 million will have "…serious difficulties in work and home life" (CDC, 2011). Moreover, in any 3-month period, people with depression miss approximately 4.8 workdays "…and suffer 11.5 days of reduced productivity" (CDC, p. 1). What are employers doing to help those suffering from depression in the workplace? The peer-reviewed literature shows a variety of responses to this health problem. One survey reports that managers with "less familiarity with depression" showed "greater reticence to seek help" (Martin, 2010); another study reflects that when depressed employees receive treatment there is "decreased sporadic absenteeism" and "productivity improvements" and "workplace savings" (Birnbaum, et al, 2000). This paper presents scholarly research showing that employers with a proactive approach to helping depressed employees save money, increase productivity, and set a good example for other businesses to follow suit.
