Mental wellbeing
Mental wellbeing is a state of emotional and psychological health that affects how you think, feel and act. Feelings of contentment, enjoyment, confidence and engagement with the world are all part of mental wellbeing, as is self-esteem and self-confidence.
A mentally healthy workplace promotes a positive workplace culture, minimises workplace risks related to mental health, supports people with mental health conditions appropriately and prevents discrimination. Promoting good mental health and creating a positive, productive working environment go hand in hand.
