Mental health is a continuum that everyone experiences and is affected.
We need to deal with the increased stress, anxiety and uncertainty this pandemic has brought. This training program aimed to ensure mental health and wellness in coping with the pandemic and in continuing to be productive for the organization.
Some causes of poor mental health are directly attributable to factors in the workplace, including, for instance, fear of the disease or excessive workload. A wide body of evidence suggests that poor workplace mental health negatively affects performance
at both the individual and organizational level. Among other outcomes, improving mental health can boost employee satisfaction, engagement, and productivity; it can also reduce health costs, employee turnover, and lost work time.
