Mental health in the workplace

  • Summary

  • At the occasion of Mental Health Awareness Week our punks explore what role our working environment plays when it comes to our mental health. Despite billions spent on measures to reduce work related stress, employees report higher than ever rates of burnout and are leaving the workplace altogether en-masse. And this concerns younger generations as well as older.
    Is there something fundamentally wrong with how companies lead, manage and organise work? And what role do new technologies play in all this?
    Join us for this episode and share your thoughts in the comments. Here are some references to points raised by our punks:
