Mental Health@Work. Time to Invest is NOW!

GovNET Conferences invites you to the international conference "Romanian Mental Health @Work 2020" on Wednesday, November 25, bringing together world-renowned specialists with local team leaders to discuss one of the most important topics on employee mental health, which is beginning to feel the effects determined by the current pandemic context.

Mental health and well-being management at work is a relatively new challenge for most companies in Romania, despite the negative impact of mental health problems on staff productivity, workplace relationships and business profitability. In fact, the health and safety policies and plans of many companies still lack the effective management of risks to mental health and well-being. This interactive conference is designed as an opportunity for team managers and staff with occupational safety and health responsibilities to share and learn from experiences in identifying, reporting and managing occupational mental health issues.

Geoff McDonald, former Global VP Unilever and founder of Minds @ Work, says that "the global coronavirus pandemic should be seen as an opportunity to make physical and mental health a priority at work" Geoff is actively campaigning to remove the stigma of depression and anxiety at work, to raise awareness of the need to communicate about them, and to offer some practical strategies on how to address these growing modern conditions.
