Mental Health and Well-being in the Workplace

Mental Health and Well-being in the Workplace

Fortunately, the stigma around mental health problems isn’t as strong as it once was, and things are certainly improving, with mental health and well-being issues being increasingly discussed in the public arena. However, many people still remain uncomfortable talking about mental health and problems they may be suffering from are often hidden because of feelings of shame or guilt, which can stop them getting help and weigh them down for a long time.


A few common mental health issues are: 

  •         stress (whilst not classed as a medical condition, it can still have a serious impact on well-being and is the cause of many lost work hours in the Western world)
  •          depression
  •          anxiety
As an employer you have a ‘duty of care’ to your employees. This means not only that they are physically safe; working environment, equipment and protected from discrimination, but also that their mental well-being is considered.                                                                                                                                                                                     Read the article here: https://www.einnews.com/pr_news/568289449/mental-health-and-well-being-in-the-workplace
