Anxiety, Depressive and Panic Disorders Top Workplace Mental Health Requests

Anxiety, Depressive and Panic Disorders Top Workplace Mental Health Requests
Mumbai, India: Soaring rates of workplace stress and anxiety are evident, with approximately 40% of the workforce reporting stress levels that significantly impacted their ability to work in the last year. As we approach ‘Blue Monday’, known as one of the most challenging days for mental health, International SOS, the world’s leading health and security risk services company, calls on organisations to take proactive steps in addressing the mental health challenges of employees.
International SOS has identified the three most frequent mental health-related requests it has received from global workforces across various sectors over the past three years. These include support and assistance for:
1. Anxiety disorder: intense and excessive fear and distress, often accompanied by physical tensions.
2. Depressive disorder: mental health condition characterised by persistent feelings of sadness, emptiness, or loss of interest. It can significantly impact an employee’s emotions, behaviour, and physical health.
3. Panic disorder: a condition when an employee has repeated, unexpected panic attacks and worries constantly about when the next one might happen.
For individuals living with mental health conditions, meaningful employment can significantly contribute to their recovery and social inclusion, fostering increased confidence and improved social functioning. Research findings indicate that employment can have a more profound positive impact on mental health outcomes than traditional psychiatric care alone. However, when an employee experiences ongoing workplace stress, it causes an elevated level of anxiety-causing hormones. This sustained pressure can leave employees feeling fatigued and exhausted and, ultimately, may contribute to burnout. Without robust support, mental health conditions can severely impact an individual’s self-confidence, job satisfaction, and ability to thrive in the workplace.
Dr Rodrigo Rodriguez-Fernandez, Global Health Advisor, Wellness and Mental Health, at International SOS, comments, “January and the start of a new year can be a particularly challenging time for many. The post-holiday blues, the return-to-work routines, and the harsh winter weather in the northern hemisphere can really take a toll on mental health and wellbeing. Blue Monday presents a crucial opportunity for organisations to proactively address mental health challenges for the year ahead and cultivate a culture of wellbeing that extends far beyond this single day.”
“For organisations, recognising the inextricable link between good mental health, employee wellbeing, and organisational effectiveness is paramount. Alarmingly, workplace stress and anxiety rates remain high, with around 15% of the global working-age population suffering from mental illness.4 The detrimental effects of stress are multifaceted and can include circulatory and gastrointestinal issues, as well as significant physical and emotional repercussions.5 Protecting and promoting mental health in the workplace is about strengthening capacities, increasing awareness, and offering early intervention opportunities for those in need.”
International SOS offers five points for organisations to implement proactive strategies to address stress and anxiety in the workforce:
1. SUPPORT
Foster a supportive culture and work environment: create a workplace culture that values open communication and support. Encourage employees to speak up about their stress levels and provide a safe space for them to share their concerns without fear of judgment or repercussions.
2. BALANCE
Promote work-life balance and implement flexible work arrangements: consider changing time-off policies to accommodate employees’ mental health needs. Encourage employees to take breaks and set boundaries between work and personal life.
3. ASSESS
Conduct regular stress assessments: regularly assess the stress levels within the organisation through surveys, feedback sessions, and health screenings. Use the data collected to identify stressors and implement targeted interventions to address them.
4. ASSIST
Offer Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs): ensure easily accessible resources for mental health support, including workshops for stress management techniques, counselling services and mental health hotlines.
5. TRAIN
Equip managers with mental health first-aid training: upskill managers to identify signs of distress and offer initial support to employees who may be struggling.

Vantara to welcome 20 rescued elephants from logging industry and two from ISKCON Mayapur

Vantara to welcome 20 rescued elephants from logging industry and two from ISKCON Mayapur
Anant Ambani’s dream project Vantara is all set to welcome 20 elephants from Arunachal Pradesh which have been rescued from the exploitation of the logging industry. There are 10 male elephants, eight females, one sub-adult, and one calf among the rescued animals.
At the same time, two female elephants from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Mayapur, near Kolkata, are set to find their new home at animal welfare organisation located in Gujarat’s Jamnagar. These elephants will be kept free of chains at Vantara and never forced into labour.

20 elephants rescued from logging industry

Twenty elephants, rescued from the exploitation of the logging industry, will be given shelter at Anant Ambani’s Vantara, as per an announcement made by Reliance Industries. Elephants suffer a lot in the logging industry as they are forced to carry heavy logs and work tirelessly for long hours.
The elephant rescue operation has been done with the approval of a high-powered committee constituted by the Tripura High Court and entrusted by the Supreme Court of India. The rescue operation has been made after full consent of the current owners of the animals.
Talking about the same, Tabang Jamoh, Divisional Forest Officer, Namsai shared, “With an active breeding population of approximately 200 captive elephants in Arunachal Pradesh, DNA profiling is being conducted to closely monitor their health and welfare. The transfer of 20 elephants to the Radhe Krishna Temple Elephant Welfare Trust at Vantara, as directed by the Supreme Court-appointed committee ensures a bright future for these animals. This initiative enhances animal welfare when providing local communities with alternative livelihoods, striking a balance between conservation, community well being and forest protection.”
The rescued elephants will be transported from their current home in Arunachal Pradesh to the rescue centre in Jamnagar. Specially-designed elephant ambulances are being used to transport these elephants from Arunachal Pradesh to Gujarat.
The elephants have been suffering since a long time due to exploitation in the logging industry. One 10-year-old sub-adult, named Laxmi who was born in captivity, struggles to bear weight on her hind legs due to deep, untreated wounds. Laxmi also has a fresh hole of one-inch diameter piercing her right ear pinna. Both the injuries were caused to her during brutal taming process by human trainers. Maya, a 2-year-old captive-born calf was rescued along with her mother.

Vantara to give shelter to two elephants from ISKCON Mayapur

Vantara will also be the new home for two female elephants from the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) in Mayapur, near Kolkata, which were used for performing regular temple rituals and during festivals.
The two elephants are Bishnupriya (18 years) and Lakshmipriya (26 years). While Lakshmipriya has been staying at ISKCON Mayapur since 2007, Bishnupriya was living there since 2010. In April, last year one of the two elephants attacked her mahout leaving him fatally injured.

The announcement of the transfer was made by Reliance Industries Limited in an official release on Monday. Apart from providing care for elephants, Vantara also offers livelihood opportunities to the owners, mahouts and their families.

Vantara

Vantara was conceptualized under the passionate leadership of Anant Ambani. The Reliance Foundation unveiled the initiative on February 26, 2024. The grand animal conservation and rehabilitation centre consists of state-of-the-art healthcare facilities for animals with several in-house wildlife veterinarians and doctors, a research centre, and an academic institution. It also boasts an old-age facility and disability care facility for old and sick animals.
Since its inception, the organisation has rescued and rehabilitated a large number of elephants, and thousands of other animals, reptiles, and birds including rhinos, leopards, and crocodiles. The organisation has also participated in international rescue operations in Mexico, Venezuela, and other countries.

How To Get Australian Tourist Visa From India

This article outlines the necessary procedures and prerequisites to assist Indian nationals in effectively completing the visa application process and getting Australia visa using Atlys and embassy. Your application will go more smoothly and your chances of being accepted will rise if you comprehend these important factors.

– Applying Through Government Portal/Embassy

Careful document preparation is necessary when applying for an Australian visa via the government portal. One needs a passport which must at least have six months validity, recent photographs affixed to the application and a filled visa application form. They also need bank statements, accounts including statements for bank accounts, tax returns, receipts for paid accommodation and travel insurance besides any proof that links them to India including letters of employment or title deeds.

Applicants must first create an ImmiAccount on the Department of Home Affairs website in order to begin the application procedure. This website functions as an all-inclusive gateway for official correspondence, application tracking, and document submission. For an application to be accepted, personal, family, and work information must be accurate and consistent.

Australia upholds stringent standards for character and health, which may include mandating medical exams from licensed doctors. Although this might change depending on application volumes and high seasons, the processing period normally lasts between 15 and 30 working days.

Until their visa is approved, applicants should refrain from making non-refundable travel plans and keep an eye on their application progress via ImmiAccount. Any requests for more information must be answered right away in order to avoid processing delays.

– Getting Visa Using Atlys Platform

For Indian tourists looking to obtain Australian visas, Atlys provides a simplified online application process.

The first step in the process is to register on their website and choose the Australia tourist Visa.

After providing applicants with clear directions and error-checking, Atlys helps them complete the form and uploads documents, which they then compare to Australian standards.

The platform securely handles service charge and visa payments.

Benefits of Using Atlys

For visa applicants, Atlys provides a host of benefits that simplify the difficult application procedure.

While the government portal provides a direct application route at a lower cost, Atlys offers valuable assistance and guidance that can be particularly beneficial for first-time applicants or those seeking a more streamlined process. Choose the method that best aligns with your comfort level, timeline, and need for assistance in the application process.

Rural Sanitation – L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering

L&T Hydrocarbon Engineering (LTHE) is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro, has begun a sanitation revolution in two villages of Waghodia Taluka in Vadodara district. LTHE’s CSR division was surveying the district for a sanitation project and identified Umarva and Pavlepur villages as needing immediate intervention.
For the residents of Umarva and Pavlepur villages sanitation wasn’t a priority. While there were many reasons for the dire sanitation situation in the two villages, lack of water, financial constraints, and mindsets were major deterrents preventing the villagers from adopting a more hygienic way of life. In association with implementation partner Voluntary Youth Organisation for Motivation (VYOM), LTHE CSR project team decided to build individual household sanitary latrines as part of a detailed programme for which it collaborated extensively with multiple stakeholders over an extended period. The project involved participation of the community, including the design and construction of toilets. It made sure that the villagers took ownership of the facilities for usage, repair, and maintenance of the toilets.
Besides building the toilets, the CSR programme also involved educating the community members about the harmful effects of open defecation. There have already been multiple benefits including fewer incidents of water-borne diseases and lower out-of-pocket expenses for the families due to improved sanitation.

Project Prerna – MG Motor India

MG Motor India does CSR in Vadodara under MG SEWA, the umbrella platform of the British automaker to serve immediate communities with whom the company interacts. MG SEWA and Baroda Citizens Council are running ‘Prerna’, a Skill Development programme aimed at training underprivileged women. ‘Prerna’ aims to create a financial platform for them and their families in the long-term. MG Motor India has brought Dineshbhai Thakur Raval onboard as the Prerna programme’s Master Trainer. Dineshbhai has been stitching since the age of 14 years and was diagnosed with polio when he was a 17-year-old. It left his right hand and leg dysfunctional. However, he didn’t let his disability overpower his passion and has worked across Mumbai and Surat since then.
Under MG SEWA, the carmaker started supporting the education of girl students in 2019. Other CSR initiatives under MG SEWA include skilling unemployed women to make masks. MG Motor has facilitated enhanced production of ventilators by providing technological and infrastructure support to an MSME player, Max Ventilator, at Vadodara. The company has provided more than 100 Hector cars to frontline workers and donated Hector Ambulances as part of the same.

Hostel for Differently-Abled Girls – Schaeffler India

CSR of Schaeffler India set up the hostel for differently-abled girls at Mook Dhwani Trust in Vadodara with the primary objective of retaining the girls in secondary schools. The project ensured that distance to the school, parents’ financial affordability and other societal factors never came in the way of denying any girl student the opportunity to pursue her studies.
Inaugurated in June 2015, the hostel is constructed within a school campus and provides accommodation to over 30 differently-abled girls. The facilities include rooms, a dining hall and a meditation hall along with indoor and outdoor recreation areas.
