WHO: Mental health in the workplace - Q & A (Questions and Answers)

Managers who take action to promote mental health in the workplace and to support employees who have mental disorders see gains not only in the health of their employees but also in their productivity at work and the financial health of their organizations.

Mental health in the workplace is the topic of World Mental Health Day 2017. World Mental Health Day is observed on 10 October every year, with the overall objective of raising awareness of mental health issues and mobilizing efforts in support of better mental health.
