Good mental health practices in the workplace

by

Mental health issues such as depression and anxiety are often not addressed in the workplace until there’s a crisis. Interventions and practices that promote good mental health in the workplace can include:

– Implementing and enforcing health and safety policies and practices, including identification of distress and harmful use of drugs and alcohol.

– Communicating to employees that support is available through an employee assistance program or other resource.

– Involving employees in decision-making, conveying a feeling of control and participation.

– Organizational practices that support a healthy work-life balance.

– Offering programs for career development.

– Recognizing and rewarding the contributions of employees.
