Employee emotional distress could be pre-existing but exacerbated by toxic work practices, cultures, and environments. Or the overwhelm could actually be directly caused by work instead. Either way, investing in mentally healthy team workspaces is essential for the long-term success of your organisation and employees. Here we look at eight reasons why.
Workplace mental health is a pressing and growing issue, requiring immediate attention and action. Traditional work team environments, structures and cultures are increasingly recognised as factors exacerbating mental ill-health. Employees at all levels are concerned about the consequences of discussing their mental health at work. As 84% of suicides occur in the working-age demographic, it is vital that we combat these trends directly within our workplaces.
In this conversation between Damon Klotz, Work Culture Evangelist from Culture Amp, Dr Kim Hazendonk, Andrew Williams and Olivia Molly Rogers, topics ranged from individual, team and organisational readiness, to personal stories and to strategies for supporting your own mental wellbeing.
People come to work to make a contribution, with the aim of doing their best. When individuals don’t feel safe it's hard to do their best work. It is one of the reasons why psychological safety is important.
