Is SA’s workforce facing an accelerating mental wellness crisis?
The World Health Organisation suggests that in less than 10 years’ time, depression will become the globe’s biggest illness. The World Economic Forum says mental disorders already result in lost productivity of $1-trillion each year, while the World Federation for Mental Health estimates more than 10% of working people have taken time off for depression.
Better mental health means a happier and more motivated staff and higher productivity. During a recent Business Day Dialogue, Accenture SA CEO Vukani Mngxati and a panel of experts discussed the state of mental health in SA, what the impact of this is on the country’s workforce, and explored solutions.
Watch a recording of this virtual event above; it will also be broadcast on Business Day TV at a later date.
