For many of us, work is a major part of our lives. It is where we spend much of our time, where we get our income and often where we make our friends. Having a fulfilling job can be good for our mental health and general wellbeing. But a negative working environment can lead to physical and mental health problems, harmful use of substances or alcohol, absenteeism and lost productivity. A healthy workplace can be described as one where workers and managers actively contribute to the working environment by promoting and protecting the health, safety and well-being of all employees. Workplaces that promote mental health and support people with mental disorders are more likely to reduce absenteeism, increase productivity and benefit from associated economic gains. Therefore, programs to enhance mental health of the employees are useful for employees and employers alike. In addition, in our clinical experience at compass clinical psychology services, Thrissur, Kerala, we see a lot of patients with mental health problems mainly caused by work life stressors and poor work life balance. This also made us think of strategies to improve mental health at workplaces and WORKLIFE COMPASS was born.
