World Mental Health Day provides a great opportunity for workplaces in the UAE to reflect on the mental wellbeing of their employees. Taking place every October 10, it is a reminder of the increasing need to prioritise mental health in an ever-increasingly fast-paced world. Good mental health is a holistic journey that encompasses numerous factors, from sleep and exercise to self-awareness and financial stability. World Mental Health Day aims to break the stigma surrounding mental health and encourage everyone to prioritise emotional wellbeing.

Supporting mental health effectively

Supporting and encouraging employees to take control of their mental wellness results in a happier, healthier world environment for all. Here are some practical steps that organisations can take to enhance the mental wellness of their workforce.

  • Create a company culture where employees feel safe discussing their mental health concerns with their line managers or Human Resources.  
  • Encourage regular check-ins and provide access to confidential counselling services, like an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP).
  • Promote mental health awareness and encourage employees to about what it is, how to look after it, and how make it stronger and offer ongoing support through our total wellbeing solutions.
  • Be sure to promote financial awareness and literacy among employees by offering resources and workshops on budgeting, financial planning, and stress management related to finances.
  • Offer fitness programs, nutritional guidance, and opportunities for physical activity within the workplace because exercise releases endorphins, reduces stress, and promotes better mental health.
  • Promote healthy eating habits and offer educational resources on the connection between nutrition and mental health because a balanced diet can significantly impact mood and cognition.
  • Encourage a healthy work-life balance by setting clear boundaries and discouraging excessive overtime.
  • Offer a supportive work environment that fosters positive social interactions and team building among employees because social connection is essential for mental health.
