Main Article Content
Abstract
Purpose – Aiming to educate corporate policymakers and HR solutions about the significance of mental health in the workplace, as well as the associated causes and social stigma, this review was conducted. In the event of a crisis, it informs the management of organisations of the negative impact of the issue and suggests measures to lessen it.
Methodology - Google Scholar was used to conduct a literature analysis of numerous research and news reports on the significance of workplace mental health.
Results – It was common knowledge that mental health at work had a direct impact on the bottom line of businesses. Increasing numbers of young people are taking their own lives due to feelings of hopelessness and isolation, according to recent media coverage. Without treatment for mental illness, a person's family and community will suffer, as well as the entire world at large.
Conclusions – Through the framework of Jorm (2000), a ray of hope in identifying such scenarios at the initiation can be seen. Organizational social programmes, such as outings and competitions, as well as digital mental health apps and technology can all aid in the fight against this problem. An employee's sense of belonging and usefulness is bolstered by the demand of the present time.
