Résumé
Le Forum économique mondial estime que, d’ici 2030, les coûts mondiaux des troubles mentaux devraient atteindre six mille milliards de dollars ; environ deux tiers de ces coûts seront attribués à la perte de productivité liée à l’incapacité. Cet article bref, examine les facteurs liés aux coûts de la maladie mentale en milieu de travail, identifie certains des éléments du milieu de travail qui pourraient être ciblés pour réduire les coûts et examine des exemples de types d’interventions en milieu de travail qui peuvent réduire les coûts.
Il existe au moins deux approches principales pour réduire les coûts relatifs aux troubles mentaux en milieu de travail. La première vise à réduire la prévalence des troubles mentaux chez les travailleurs ainsi que l’incidence des absences maladie. La seconde approche est de permettre un plus grand accès aux traitements requis. Ensemble, ces approches permettraient de réduire les coûts de façon significative, notamment en créant un climat de soutien et de solidarité dans les milieux de travail.

Abstract
Objectives The World Economic Forum estimated that, by 2030, global costs of mental disorders are projected to reach US$6.0 trillion; about two thirds of these costs will be attributed to lost productivity related to disability. This brief article discusses factors that are related to the costs of mental illness in the workplace, identifies some of the workplace elements which could be targeted to reduce costs and explores examples of types of workplace interventions that can reduce costs.
Methods We summarize the results of a Canadian research program using economic analyses to understand the costs of work disability related to mental disorders and cost-effective interventions.
Results There are at least two main approaches to decrease the costs of mental disorders in the workplace. The first approach could be to decrease the prevalence of mental disorders among workers or the incidence of sickness absences. A second approach would be to increase access to treatment by addressing barriers to treatment. Both can have significant impacts to decrease costs.
Conclusions Treatment can help workers experience mental disorders have higher productivity than they would have otherwise. By creating supportive workplace cultures through management training, organizations can potentially see a return through decreased sickness absences and higher productivity.
