Signs of a mentally healthy workplace
Increasing workloads, rapid technological change, shifting market demands, and a lack of work-life balance. A healthy workplace has many components that fall under communication, workload and trust.
Some signs of a mentally healthy workplace include:
- A clear understanding of the organisation's vision and strategy for all employees at all levels
- Clearly defined individual duties and responsibilities
- A safe environment where employees feel they can voice their opinions
- Recognition for good work and service
- Well managed workload
- Work - life balance
- Respectful behaviour from all staff, regardless of title
- Established conflict resolution practices
- Professional training and learning opportunities.
