We tend to spend the majority of our time in the work setting, therefore it’s important to acknowledge the impact work has on our mental health. There are numerous factors that can influence a worker’s psychological health and safety in the workplace, one being work-life balance. Every worker is an individual with a professional and personal life and combining these two worlds together with different variables may weigh in on their workplace experience. It’s common to feel overwhelmed or stressed with the things going on in our lives. It’s important to acknowledge the stressors in your life to learn how to manage them and seek additional resources and support to eliminate them.
