Facilitator: Prof. Andrew Zamani

Our seasoned facilitator came through for us with a puzzle on what we understand by Creating A Mentally Healthy Work Environment. Most times we view a mentally healthy work environment as a place surrounded by flowers, fully air conditioning offices, cups of coffee, free lunch, official vehicles and their likes and ignore the aspect of placing value of the contents inside of you.

Prof Zamani made us understand that you may likely have a serene work environment but your mental health is affected badly because your superiors or colleagues don’t have a single value for you or the efforts you put in to work.

He pointed that a healthy working environment begins with the leadership having empathy on and with his subordinates and creating an enabling environment to strive seamlessly.

There is need to obtain clear communication avenues from top to bottom and have a level working grounds to be heard at all times.
