The Batu Gajah District Council has launched its Mental Health Day 2025 Programme, focusing on strengthening mental health among civil servants. The initiative aims to build resilience in the workforce, particularly those facing high-pressure situations.
The program includes workshops on mindfulness relaxation techniques and motivational sessions to help participants manage stress and emotions. This marks the beginning of a series of activities planned to address mental health issues sustainably within the district's workforce.
Why It's Important?
The focus on mental health in the workplace reflects a growing recognition of its importance in maintaining a productive and resilient workforce. By providing tools and strategies for stress management, the Batu Gajah District Council is taking proactive steps to support its employees' well-being. This initiative not only benefits individual workers but also enhances overall organizational health, potentially reducing absenteeism and improving job satisfaction. As mental health becomes a priority in workplace settings, similar programs could be adopted by other districts and organizations.
