Abstract | Mental health has emerged as a strategic concern for organizations globally, yet corporate wellness initiatives often remain generalized and disconnected from the diverse realities of employees across sectors and cultures. This study investigates how mental health programs vary by industry type, cultural setting, and level of organizational integration. Using secondary data from CSR reports, HR publications, and international policy documents, the research employs a three-dimensional analytical framework—Industry Sector × Cultural Context × Program Depth—to explore the structural, cultural, and programmatic nuances of corporate mental health efforts. Findings reveal that while knowledge-intensive sectors such as IT and finance lead in digital wellness innovation, labour-intensive industries like manufacturing and construction lag behind in both awareness and implementation. Cultural attitudes significantly affect program engagement, with stigma and silence prevalent in collectivist societies, and more open, policy-supported models in individualistic contexts. Additionally, non-traditional workers—including gig, contract, and informal employees—are frequently excluded from wellness coverage. The study contributes to organizational theory by highlighting the need for context-sensitive, inclusive, and deeply embedded mental health strategies. It offers a conceptual model that can guide policymakers and practitioners toward designing equitable workplace mental health systems tailored to local and sectoral realities |
