This video takes a closer look at how mental health can shape workplace performance and business success. It also shines a light on a special training program designed to help managers support mental well-being, break down stigma, and take care of their teams in meaningful ways.


Key Takeaways


Economic Impact of Mental Health: Mental health challenges take a big toll—costing South African businesses around two billion rand each year and even more worldwide—which shows just how important it is to tackle these issues head-on.
Widespread Issues in the Workforce: Depression and anxiety touch one in four workers, and sadly, many people (especially men) hold back from asking for help because of lingering stigma.
Manager-Focused Training: This program gives managers the tools they need to spot, support, and guide employees through mental health challenges, all while keeping their own well-being in mind too.
Men and Mental Health Stigma: Men, in particular, often hide their mental health struggles due to pressure from society, so it’s extra important to create spaces where they feel comfortable reaching out for help.
Burnout in Leadership: Top executives can also quietly struggle with burnout and anxiety, sometimes worrying it might affect their careers. Support like life coaching can make a real difference for them.
Critical Mental Health Consequences: When depression goes untreated, the risks are serious—one in ten people may attempt suicide—so early support and intervention are absolutely essential.
Call to Action: Businesses are encouraged to step up by investing in targeted mental health training programs, like those offered by Jackie Bhana Consulting, to better support their teams.
