The Dubai Chamber Sustainability Network Task Force on Employee Welfare and Wellbeing recently organised a webinar advising businesses on different strategies for identifying mental health problems at workplace.
The scope of the webinar included various coping tools, mechanisms and techniques that can support employees dealing with such issues.
The webinar, titled Factors Affecting Mental Health at Workplace, Signs and Coping Mechanisms, examined mental health as a major issue affecting nearly every organisation, which has become a lot more prevalent due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Companies were briefed on how healthy workplace policies such as anti-bullying programs, occupational health and safety measures, peer support, worker-led initiatives and life skills training, have proven to be effective ways to improve mental health among employees and increase their efficiency and productivity.
