Definition

Mental wellness refers to the state of “well-being” required to deal with work-related stressors, and productivity issues to reach full potential. It refers to employees' psychological, emotional, and social well-being within a shared work environment and is an integral part of our overall wellness.

Positive mental health at work is important to flourish in current roles and responsibilities. It also boost resilience and helps with stress management. As explained in the National Institutes of Health's National Library of Medicine, poor mental health can lead to burn-out, which can seriously affect the ability to contribute meaningfully both professionally and personally.

Remember, you can’t reach your maximum potential without taking care of your mental wellness.
