For those who may not know, Law No. 14,831/24 came into force on March 27, establishing the “Mental Health Promoting Company Certificate.” This certificate recognizes companies that meet the requirements for promoting mental health and well-being as set forth by the law.
Companies interested in obtaining this certification must develop actions and policies based on the following guidelines:
Mental Health Promotion: Implementing mental health programs; offering support resources; conducting awareness campaigns and training; leadership training; and specific sessions on topics of interest to employees, in addition to combating discrimination and harassment.
Employee Well-being: Promoting a safe and healthy work environment; encouraging work-life balance; promoting physical activity, leisure, healthy eating, positive interactions, and integrative communication.
Transparency and Accountability: Regularly disclosing mental health and well-being actions across company communication channels; establishing suggestion and evaluation channels for employees; and performing periodic analysis of implemented actions.
Did you know that mental disorders are already the 3rd leading cause of work absence?
The mental illness scenario in Brazil is alarming. Companies must manage turnover effectively, especially considering that after returning from medical leave, an employee is entitled to 12 months of job security (stability).
The Importance of Mental Health at Work
When employees feel supported, their stress levels decrease. Substances like serotonin and oxytocin, when balanced, make people happier, more empathetic, and more engaged. Currently, many people worry about their bodies for aesthetic reasons, but mental health deserves equal attention. Neglecting emotions can lead to physical illness.
Benefits of Corporate Mental Health Training
Implementing training programs for employees and leaders is an effective way to foster a productive environment. These programs empower staff to recognize signs of psychological distress in themselves and others, promoting a culture of support.
