Not another Mental Health Victim..
Sunil Tembhe
People & Culture Senior Advisor bp Castrol - Supply Chain HRBP | Asian Paints | John Deere
Mental health related issues like stress, burnout, depression, suicidal thoughts, nightmares etc. trouble everyone. It can be a recently started HR Professional, or highly accomplished Business Consultant or a student stressed under Board or JEE Exam. Everyone almost resorts to self-dialogue. Mental Health is still a taboo, despite many organizations have made provision through Employee Assistance Programs (EAP).
Whether you don't trust the confidentiality of the EAP provided by the organisation or whether your organisation cant afford to offer such service...

11 个月Thanks for sharing Sunil Tembhe I guess most of the organisations today have wellbeing platform where employees can reach out to counsellors, however the success rate of such initiatives is very low. Acceptance of having a challenge or issue is the major reason. Even in 2024 , saying I need a break coz I am disturbed or stressed won't be accepted as saying I am not well . I personally feel, Culture shift is something' that we all need when it comes to wellbeing
