Course Description
Poor mental health at work leads to more sickness and less productivity. Companies need to invest in mental health programs and a positive environment. This problem can come from workplace bullying, micromanagement, or lack of support. Managers must recognize the warning signs of stress and depression and provide help. They also need to take care of their own stress to guide their team effectively. By engaging with team members, managers create a supportive ecosystem for good health and improved performance. Prioritizing mental health benefits both employees and employers, with higher retention rates and a positive company culture.
