Can we now be candid about the real situation of mental health at work?
I was quite optimistic at the start of this year - we had 2 pandemics that has redefined the way we think and live - one viral and one related to mental health. Obviously I said hey that's the year where corporations are going to get the right actions and make a substantial reduction of mental health challenges at work - it didn't happen.
I zoom in to the place I live, the UAE: 55 percent of employees are saying they are thinking about quitting, far higher than the global average of 36 percent. Not only that, the UAE workforce as ‘the most stressed in the world’.
For my friends outside the UAE - the situation is not improving either in most countries. This is a special episode of Learn with Bessern - where we will talk about what we dont say about Mental Health at Work. I needed to have a guest who is known for his candid way and depth to talk about this subject: Scott Armstrong
