MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING
You care about supporting the mental, emotional and social well-being of your employees?
Mental health is a state of mental well-being that enables people to cope with the stresses of life, to realize their potential, to learn and work well, and to contribute to their communities. Mental health is an integral component of health and well-being that underlies our individual and collective ability to make decisions, build relationships and shape the world in which we live.

Mental health training is important when…

- there is a strong stigmatization of the problem or there seems to be a misunderstanding and misuse of efforts to improve the mental health of employees.
- kompanija ulaže u aktivnosti u vezi mentalnog zdravlja zaposlenih, ali se one ne koriste na očekivani način.
- Recently, there has been one or more incidents in the company related to the mental health of one of the employees (eg suicide attempts, hospitalization, "public" burnout, outbursts of anger, knowledge of addictive behavior).
- a significant percentage of employees are exposed to increased risk due to increased sources of stress and/or lack of support (eg remote work, migration, economic and political changes).
Investing in the mental health of employees and their general quality of life pays off many times over, and since 2020 it has been recognized as one of the most important benefits that a company can offer. A high level of employee mental health has a proven positive relationship with various parameters of business success, such as: increasing productivity and profitability, improving customer satisfaction, lower turnover rates - unwanted employee departures and absenteeism - short-term sick leave of employees.
