This review paper examines the integration of technological tools in Human Resources (HR) mental health initiatives, focusing on the application and effectiveness of digital platforms in enhancing workplace mental health support. The paper systematically reviews existing literature on the deployment of wellness apps, teletherapy services, and AI-driven analytics within corporate HR strategies aimed at mental health. The analysis reveals that technological tools significantly enhance the accessibility and effectiveness of mental health resources in the workplace. These tools facilitate timely mental health interventions and promote greater autonomy and privacy for employees seeking support, which, in turn, increases engagement and reduces stigma associated with mental health discussions. AI-driven analytics are particularly highlighted for their capability to predict potential mental health crises, allowing for preemptive action. The paper concludes that technological integration in HR mental health initiatives is not only beneficial but also essential in modern organizational contexts. It proposes that continuous advancements in technology be leveraged to tailor mental health support to individual employee needs and to foster an inclusive, supportive work environment. Recommendations for future research include exploring the long-term impacts of such integrations on overall organizational health and the potential ethical considerations of data privacy and management.
