Mental Health Day - It is time to Prioritise Mental Health in the Workplace

10^th October 2024

Employed adults spend more of their waking hours working than engaging in any other activity. At its best, work offers not only a livelihood but also meaning, purpose, an opportunity to create friendships and enjoyment. Unfortunately, for many, work falls short of this potential, often diminishing well-being and negatively impacting mental health, leading to heightened stress and mental health challenges.

Globally, mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are widespread in workplaces, affecting productivity, attendance, and overall performance. If left unaddressed, the economic toll is substantial, with the WHO estimating an annual loss of US$1 trillion. Research consistently shows that investing in workplace mental health benefits employees, companies, and communities alike.
