The psycho-emotional health of workers is key to achieving a healthy work environment, but isolated initiatives are not enough, the pandemic has left a series of consequences and lessons learned that still last; among them, the importance of emotional well-being.
In this context, the call to 'corporate wellness' either work well-being, a state that workers achieve as a result of a set of measures implemented by the company to ensure that they enjoy good mental, emotional and physical health.
“The concept is based on the idea that there is nothing more important than the PEOPLE”.
Continuing with this idea, from the World Health Organization (WHO), considers that the worker's comprehensive well-being begins with a healthy work environment: "A place where everyone works together to achieve a joint vision of health and well-being for the community."
This concept “It not only covers the part directly related to health, but also the physical spaces, ergonomics, work flexibility, leadership and diversity policies that allow the participation of workers in a shared environment of values and ethical principles”
Keys to taking care of the mental health of employees
- Define boundaries between personal and work hours
- Breaks or relaxation activities
- Disconnecting electronic devices
- Promote actions to raise awareness among staff about mental health issues at work: healthy eating, sleep hygiene or the development of hobbies that allow disconnection
- Promote communication, create dialogue through spaces that allow two-way feedback.
All of these initiatives can help workers improve their health, increasing their personal and family well-being, achieving greater tolerance to stress and greater satisfaction in their job. On the other hand, the Company improves productivity, reduces absenteeism and generates a positive work environment.
