Abstract: Purpose: The purpose of this article is to identify the main mental disorders of employees in Poland and the factors that cause them. Design/Methodology/Approach: This article conducts a deductive analysis of the mental health of employees in Poland. For this purpose, a study of the literature on the subject and inference based on statistical data were used. Data from the report were used, which included the results of surveys among 1,300 employees of enterprises in Poland. The research was carried out in April and May 2024 using the CAWI technique. Findings: Surveys conducted among employees of medium and large enterprises have shown that ensuring the mental well-being of employees is becoming an increasing challenge for employers. A dynamically changing work environment often leads to increased stress, burnout and health problems. Maintaining the mental health of employees affects not only their well-being, but also the overall productivity and effectiveness of the organization. Practical Implications: The conclusions from the analysis of previous research are both important for the development of knowledge in the field of HRM, as well as for management practice. The results may be useful for management when formulating recommended actions to improve the mental well-being of employees. Originality/value: The research results are aimed at expanding knowledge in the field of human resources management, in particular in developing ways to reduce the risk of depression and burnout among employees and improve their mental well-being..
