In a world where 60% of the global population is actively engaged in the workplace, taking action to protect and support mental health in the workplace is more important than ever. In recognition of this, World Mental Health Day, observed on 10th October, focused on the theme of mental health at work, highlighting the need for workplaces to foster environments that support the emotional well-being of their employees. Embracing this global initiative, Confiz took a proactive approach to prioritizing mental health in the workplace by organizing a neurographic art therapy workshop. This hands-on activity offered our people a creative outlet to reduce stress, enhance emotional well-being, and promote mindfulness.
At Confiz, we understand the critical importance of mental well-being in fostering a thriving workforce, particularly in today’s challenging economic climate. Beyond financial pressures, creating a safe and healthy work environment is a key driver for individual growth and the collective progress of society, ensuring overall health and productivity. Factors like stigma, discrimination, harassment, and unhealthy working conditions can negatively impact mental health, leading to decreased productivity. To foster a healthier and more supportive workplace, we took this unorthodox approach to mental wellness with Maha Qureshi, an Assistant Professor of Visual Communication at COMSATS University and a staunch advocate of using art as a form of meditative therapy.
