Why is workplace wellbeing important?

Supporting mental health in the workplace is crucial as it significantly impacts individual performance, relationships, and overall organisational health.


Effective mental health programs comply with health and safety regulations, enhance productivity and reduce the financial impacts associated with mental health conditions.
