World Mental Health Day: Creating a Healthy Work Environment

October 10, 2022

"Bad performance this week."
"Why are you always so emotional?"
"Wow, is this the way you have always handled your clients?"
"Achieved only 90% out of 10
0% of your sales target."
... and the list goes on.

A comment that is being made about your work performance may shape the way you think of yourself for a long period of time. The workplace can be an environment that highlights prevailing issues that an individual might already be dealing with daily. 

Today is
World Mental Health Day

Let's work towards creating a better work environment for everyone. 

1. It could be in creating leave benefits like "Time-Offs" specially for when people are feeling burnt out or emotionally drained. 

2. Simply being mindful of the comments made at work: change a bad remark to a constructive feedback. 
- From "Bad performance this week." to "Is there anything we can do to help you better at work the next week?"

3. Constantly check in with your team members - they may be going through things that they may not share with you enough.

As Big Sean would say, "One Man Can Change The World."
