心理健康问题是发达国家组织面临的代价最高的问题之一。为了应对员工心理健康状况不佳带来的日益沉重的负担，许多组织已经引入了心理健康促进计划和资源（例如，员工援助计划）。尽管可用的选择增加，但很少有员工充分利用这些资源。采用随机分配的等待列表控制设计，我们评估了以领导者为中心的心理健康培训对员工（N = 82; 51.25%响应率）资源使用和领导者（N = 37; 56.92%响应率）关于心理健康和心理健康资源的沟通的影响。根据员工的其他报告数据，接受培训的领导者分享了更多关于心理健康和心理健康资源的信息，更支持员工的心理健康问题，并积极鼓励员工使用可用资源。领导者参加培训的员工也报告说，他们更愿意寻找和利用可用资源。对于参加培训并完成三波数据收集的领导者，结果表明，3小时的心理健康培训可能会导致培训后3个月的显着行为变化。
Mental health problems are among the costliest issues facing organizations in the developed world. In response to the mounting burdens surrounding poor employee mental health, many organizations have introduced mental health promotion programs and resources (e.g., employee assistance programs). Despite the rise in available options, very few employees use these resources to their full potential. Using a wait-list control design with random assignment, we evaluate the impact of a leader-focused mental health training on employees' (N = 82; 51.25% response rate) resource use and leaders' (N = 37; 56.92% response rate) communication about mental health and mental health resources. Based on other-report data from employees, leaders who received training shared more information about mental health and mental health resources, were more supportive of employees' mental health issues, and actively encouraged employees to use available resources. Employees whose leaders attended the training also reported increased willingness to seek out and use available resources. For leaders who attend training and complete three waves of data collection, results suggest that a 3-hr mental health training may lead to significant behavioral change up to 3 months posttraining.
