Are you responsible for managing the mental health and wellness resources available to employees? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this course is perfect for you!
As the business landscape continues to evolve and companies try to stay ahead of the competition, it’s important to keep workers in mind. Prolonged stress and other work-related issues can contribute to mental health problems that impact the work environment. A report by the World Health Organisation estimated that depression and anxiety cost the global economy approximately $1 trillion each year. This stems from the reduced productivity these conditions cause in workers. Companies can minimise this impact by taking care of their workers’ needs and addressing in-house issues that affect mental health. The goal of this course is to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace and help you understand how to minimise issues. You cannot afford to miss this!
