Mental health is a core aspect of a person's overall well-being and directly affects that person's capacity to perform well in the workplace.

With mental health increasingly recognised as a component of health, the development of a comprehensive mental health policy is important.

Mental health policy protects the rights and dignity of employees while engendering organisational productivity, cohesion, and resilience.

A mental health policy provides a systematic platform for the assessment, management, and promotion of the mental health and well-being of employees.
