A Proposed Taxonomy to Holistically Classify Employee Mental Health Programs: Qualitative Taxonomy Development Study

This taxonomy contributes to establishing a common standard for holistic EMHP classification. It benefits both mental health researchers and practitioners in fostering transparency and serves as a structured tool for EMHP analysis. The taxonomy enables researchers to conduct relevant future research, including the systematic identification of EMHP archetypes. In practice, the taxonomy can guide providers in market gap identification and EMHP development, inform employers in decision-making, and assist policymakers in setting up targeted support mechanisms for EMHP implementation.
