A Healthy Environment

The best way in which workplaces can support the mental health of their employees is by providing a healthy working environment.

In the context of mental health, a healthy environment is much more than a safe physical environment when at work. It also includes the way the work is performed, the way decisions are made, the way feedback is given, and the opportunities for social interaction and support. These need to be considered and included in all workplace systems and in everyday management tasks.
