This episode delves into the significance of mental health in the workplace, particularly within the Indian context.

We shed light on alarming statistics revealing high levels of burnout, anxiety, and depression among corporate and government employees in India. We uncover key factors contributing to workplace mental health issues, such as the unpredictability of daily life, high power distance, and the pervasive stigma surrounding mental health.

We also emphasise the two-way relationship between inclusion and mental well-being, highlighting the importance of addressing mental health not only for the benefit of employees' personal lives but also for the overall enhancement of workplace dynamics and productivity.
