Keeping employees' mental health healthy during pandemic

Abstract

The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic have caused enormous changes to our daily lives as a whole and a 360-degrees shift to employees' work habits. In an article written by Emma Greedy of HR Magazine, she wrote that in an interview with Elizabeth McManus, head of leading transformation and engagement at City & Guilds Group, the rise and spread of Covid-19 has presented both an unprecedented and unforeseen crisis across the globe that has led to new pressures that could affect employees' mental health. It is inevitable that workers across the globe are feeling stressed at work amid the fears and growing uncertainty of the virus. But, let it not be a standing ground to disrupt expected performance and institute's productivity especially in supporting the Department of Agriculture's mandates in the fisheries sector.
