A utopia that possibly never existed even before the pandemic, only in an ad exec's mind!
The reality is over 75% of a workforce will not admit ill physical or mental health, stress or a disability for fear of discrimination (Radar 2010)
The pandemic is threatening us with a tsunami of mental health issues as published in the Guardian 11th April 2020
According to the Dalai Lama in his book "The art of happiness in a troubled world", the secret to happiness is social inclusion and feeling as if you are a contributing and valued member of society. Well, the pandemic and lockdown put paid to that!!
According to psychologists developing relationships is fundamental to mental well-being. Without relationships you become anti-social, dysfunctional and prone to mental health problems. It is claimed that loneliness can have the same effect on your physical health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.
So, it just makes sense to pay attention to mental health especially in the workplace to avoid stress, burnout, loss of efficiency and the consequent affects on the balance sheet bottom line.
