Mental health at work
Lack of mental-health support can affect workers' personal lives, and may also seep into their work, causing lost productivity and increased absences.
Well-being at work is defined as individuals’ ability to work productively and creatively, to engage in strong and positive relationships, fulfilment of personal and social goals, contribution to community, and a sense of
purpose.
A substantial body of evidence is now available on work-related risks that can negatively affect both mental and physical health with an associated negative effect on
business performance and society (WHO, 2008).
When work becomes overwhelming
We hear people talking about beeing burned out all the time. It's a colorful phrase but you might not realize where it comes from.
Here is a short story about its origine.
The turm BURNOUT goes back to 1974 when psychologist Herbert Freudenberger used it in a paper to discribe his colleagues at a free health clinic in NYC.
He noticed that over time many doctors, nurses and social workers tending patients became LESS MOTIVATED ans weren't doing as good of work even though they cared a lot. They were exhausted mentally and physically and sometimes developed headaches, insomnia and other stress related symptomes.
Much of our understanding of the core parts of burnout come from a social psychologist Christina Maslach.
In order to be able to mesure the burnout she created the Maslach Burnout Inventory a survey people could answer.
Burnout is a state of physical mental or emotional exhaustion.
