Abstract	This study explored the well-being and mental health of employees across various workplaces in Panay Island during the 2024–2025 period. Its primary aim was to assess employees’ levels of psychological well-being, perceived stress, and the availability of workplace mental health support, while also examining the relationship between organizational support and employee mental health outcomes. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed, involving 160 employees selected through stratified random sampling from different industries and employment categories. Data were collected using a researcher-developed questionnaire, which was validated by experts and pilot-tested for reliability, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.89. The results showed that employees generally reported moderate levels of psychological well-being (M = 3.42, SD = 0.58) alongside moderate perceived stress (M = 3.18, SD = 0.66). These findings suggest that while employees are generally able to manage work demands, workplace stressors remain prevalent. Workplace mental health support was also rated at a moderate level (M = 3.27, SD = 0.61), indicating that programs and interventions are not consistently implemented across organizations. Significant differences in perceived stress were observed based on age and length of service, with younger and less experienced employees reporting higher stress levels. No significant differences were found with regard to sex or educational attainment. Pearson correlation analysis further revealed a significant positive relationship between workplace mental health support and psychological well-being (r = 0.54, p < 0.001), underscoring the importance of organizational interventions in fostering employee health. Based on these findings, the study concludes that organizations should strengthen mental health support systems, implement targeted interventions for vulnerable employee groups, and cultivate a workplace culture that emphasizes openness and inclusion. Such measures can help enhance overall well-being, reduce stress, and promote higher productivity.
