[INFOGRPAHIC] All the numbers you need this World Mental Health Day
Today, 10 October, is World Mental Health Day and the theme for this year is Mental Health in the work place.
POLOKWANE – During our adult lives, a large proportion of our time is spent at work. Our experience in the workplace is one of the factors determining our overall wellbeing.
Employers and managers who put in place workplace initiatives to promote mental health and to support employees who have mental disorders see gains not only in the health of their employees but also in their productivity at work.
A negative working environment, on the other hand, may lead to physical and mental health problems, harmful use of substances or alcohol, absenteeism and lost productivity, says the World Health Organization.
