Abstract

This study examines the impact of integrated mental health support systems on employee performance and recovery, particularly for those with dual diagnoses, within corporate management. The research sampled 320 HR professionals, mental health experts, and business managers from Punjab and KPK provinces of Pakistan. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire with closed-ended and Likert-scale questions. Descriptive statistics, including means (M = 3.8, SD = 0.85), percentages, and frequency distributions, along with inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation (r = 0.65, p < 0.01 for recovery and r = 0.72, p < 0.01 for performance), and regression analysis (? = 0.72 for well-being, p < 0.001) were performed using SPSS. The findings revealed that integrating mental health support systems significantly improved both employee performance and recovery, especially for those with dual diagnoses. Additionally, leadership commitment and effective mental health awareness programs were found to positively influence employee productivity and well-being (? = 0.68, p < 0.001). The results underscore the critical role of organizational policy and leadership in fostering a mental health-friendly workplace, enhancing overall employee outcomes, and creating a supportive work environment.
