There was a recent important article\/topic from the Business Standard newspaper, titled “Age of Anxiety”. The article discussed increasing cases and patterns of anxiety and mental health issues in our work environments.
It has become critical for all parties to not ignore mental health. Physical and mental health are important elements of optimal performance. Having some form of support system is critical for every individual and benefits all parties, including the employer. Even if employers take a cost focused approach, this will end up in increased healthcare and insurance costs very soon (if not already). Therefore, proactive thinking to address this benefits everyone.
Highlighting couple of notes from the article that require attention.:
* “The real need is for organisations to empower their people managers to foster psychological safety, where employees feel seen, heard and supported, not just as professionals but as people navigating the pressures of work and life.”
* Despite efforts, much of corporate India still treats stress as an individual issue, not a systemic one. But the growing number of tragic outcomes suggests that the status quo is no longer sustainable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
