In this rat race world demanding work environments, managing work life balance has led to the restating and spreading awareness regarding the importance of mental health in the workplace. As the employees have been crushed between personal and professional life leading to increased amounts of anxiety, stress, burnout, physical illness etc. so the organisations need to take the necessary steps to promote workplace mental health of all the employees. It is crucial to understand the nuances between “mental health issues” and “poor mental well-being.” Mental health issues encompass disruptions in one’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioural state, ranging from temporary challenges to enduring conditions like depression and anxiety caused due to stressful work environments. On the other hand, poor mental well-being refers to a relatively continuous state of experiencing persistent symptoms that hamper daily functioning. While organisations diligently adopt measures for physical health, they often overlook seemingly innocuous habits that can disrupt employees mental well-being, such as late-night sleep patterns and irregular eating habits. Addressing mental health in the workplace can have a cascade of transformative impacts on employees’ lives. Improved mental well-being can lead to heightened subjective well-being, fortified self-confidence, enhanced resilience, amplified productivity, better physical health, a more positive outlook on life, and enriched relationships. Ultimately, fostering a work environment that prioritises mental health and employee well-being can contribute to the overall success and flourishing of both the individual and the organisation. By recognizing the critical importance of workplace mental health, organisations can empower their employees to thrive, fostering a culture of well-being that benefits both the individual and the collective success of the organisation.
