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.
