Recently, there has been an increase in mental health concern at workplace. An employee’s mental health is adversely affected due to long working hours, high expectations, and stress at work and this lower’s an employee’s satisfaction with work and efficiency. A Mental Health Survey states that around 47 percent professionals surveyed consider workplace-related stress as the biggest factor affecting their mental health. Consequently, this kind of stress has a significant impact on an individual’s emotional and professional aspects of life. A survey infers that inadequate mental health among workers costs Indian firms about US$14 billion per annum through attrition and absenteeism. Hence, encouragement of mental health at work assumes great importance at workplace.
Employee burnout is one of the biggest issues that businesses deal with since it is the main cause of mental stress and disengagement among workers. According to a recent study that surveyed workers across 11 countries, more than half of the workers still feel burnt out at work.
