This results in a more unified, holistic, and structured sustainable approach.<\/p>\n<p>A proper mental health strategy needs to be established to ensure that the wellbeing needs of all staff are constantly supported. It is essential to have multiple departments collaborating (wellness teams, HR, Safety teams, comms team etc.).
