🧠 Why is suicide becoming more common among employees? The rising pressures of work, constant performance expectations, and an overwhelming struggle to balance personal and professional life are taking a toll on employees' mental health. Many suffer in silence, feeling isolated and unsupported, which can lead to devastating outcomes like burnout, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.  We need to create healthier work environments, promote open conversations about mental health, and provide the support systems employees desperately need.  I’ve addressed this important issue in more detail in my latest video. Please take a moment to watch it and learn how we can better support one another in the workplace. 🙏  🎥 Watch here: https://lnkd.in/gKb6cTkX Let’s start the conversation today.

⭐️ PROVIDING GOOD LEADERSHIP IN DIFFICULT TIMES IS ESSENTIAL ⭐️ World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10 October. Mental health is an uncomfortable subject for many people, usually due to a lack of awareness, education and perspective. The theme this year is "Workplace mental health". The theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and well-being in the workplace for the benefit of people, organisations and communities. In the workplace, leadership and management are key to promoting mental health from the top down. As leaders there is a responsibility to know our teams - their strengths and challenges and how best they can be supported. Our new ways of working have in many cases left people with a lack of social interaction and feeling isolated which contributes to stress, anxiety and even burnout for many. Mental health matters every day, not just today. Let's create a world where everyone feels safe to talk about their struggles and where kindness and compassion are the norm. Remember: 📌 It's okay to ask for help. 📌 It's okay to rest. 📌 It's okay to not be okay. #worldmentalhealthday #workplacementalhealth #awareness #support
