Health in the workspace: creating a culture of awareness
Mental health in business is a delicate subject. People suffering from mental health conditions often experience a sense of shame. Numerous fears often prevent them from talking about mental wellbeing in the workplace. For some the impact of stigma is worse than the symptoms. This calls for a solid mental health concept, where leaders are open to discussing wellbeing and encourage team members to learn and support each other by being personally involved. Addressing mental health challenges at an early stage will prevent longer sick-leaves and loss of productivity, as well as reduce human suffering.
Mental health in business: how can it be achieved?
Leaders have to build organizational and individual resilience, facilitate early intervention, and support recovery and employees’ return to work. The underlying success factor is to create a psychologically safe workplace where employees can talk about their mental health without fear of stigmatization. This is a working environment where people encounter each other from human to human independent from their roles.
