How Mental Wellbeing increases Staff Productivity during Coronavirus crisis
According to the World health Organisation, an estimated 264 million people suffer from depression and anxiety disorders. It also estimates that depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy $1 trillion each year in loss of productivity. Without losing any more time, corporates should take conscious initiatives to promote the importance of mental wellbeing among employees. Employees are inclined to take things more seriously when the directives come from their company authorities. Several measures within companies and steps to propagate mental wellbeing, will over a period of time exhibit considerable results.
Darshak Hathi, international director at the foundation said that The Art of Living with its partner organization international Association for Human Values have been working tirelessly to provide material relief in all corners of the country from maharashtra, karnataka to punjab, mp, West bengal, chhattisgarh, telangana, delhi and Jammu, reaching out to over a million daily wage workers and migrant labourers stuck in different parts of the country.
Moreover adding that the organization has also opened a national helpline for addiction 080 67612325, an initiative of Program for Relief from Addictions Naturally (PRAN), available in 9 languages, where they are being counselled in dealing with addiction symptoms.When so much is being done at the ground level by such NGOs, corporates can sure do their bit by taking care of the mental wellbeing of their staff and boost their productivity in turn.
