Abstract
In today’s complex and highly competitive workplace, a number of factors can disrupt the ability of workers to perform at their full potential. Among adults of working age, certain mental health conditions are highly prevalent (Smit et al., 2006). In particular, ailments such as depression and other mood disorders among employees can substantially and negatively impact an employer’s bottom line (EASNA Research Notes, 2009). Depression is of particular interest to employers given its frequent appearance in early to mid-adulthood and potential for reoccurring episodes that disproportionally affect adults of working age (Bender & Kennedy, 2004).
