What is this workshop about?
There's no doubt that mental health problems in the workplace have huge costs for people, as well as for businesses and companies. So recognizing them and being aware of their impact is very important.
In this workshop we will address the intersection between health and well-being, exploring how mental health problems can impact on both employees and the organization, and discussing effective strategies for dealing with these issues proactively and compassionately. Throughout the workshop, we will take a close look at two avenues of impact: how mental health problems affect the work environment and, conversely, how the work environment can affect employees' mental health. In addition, we will highlight the importance of leaders being well prepared to deal with mental health issues and provide valuable insights into how to spot the signs of a potential mental health problem at work.
