The pace and pressure of today’s work environment present a complex web of challenges that deeply affect employees, not just professionally but also personally. Amid rising cases of stress, anxiety, and depression, it is no longer a question of whether mental well-being should be prioritized at work—but how.
When employees are mentally well, they are more focused, resilient, productive, and creative. On the other hand, stress and burnout diminish attentiveness, hinder performance, and slow personal and organizational growth.
The evidence is sobering. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health disorders are now among the top contributors to the global burden of disease, with depression alone being the leading cause of disability worldwide.
