Prioritizing Mental Health in the Workplace: A High-Impact Strategic Investment as a Competitive Advantage  in the Modern Workplace. Case Study in a Mexican Logistics Cooperative

In today’s complex work environment, mental health is paramount for organizational success, especially in sectors like logistics, challenged by dehumanizing practices and insecurity. This conference addresses the evolving leadership paradigm, advocating a holistic approach to workplace mental health. We explore organizational responsibility in employee mental health prevention and care, emphasizing proactive measures and healthy work environments. The crucial role of leadership in fostering a well-being-centric culture will be analyzed, with practical strategies and tools shared to build resilience, reduce stress, and enhance productivity.

The tangible impact of mental health on performance and profitability will be examined through data and compelling success stories. A Mexican cooperative’s comprehensive mental health program serves as an inspiring case study, demonstrating how prioritizing employee well-being, even amidst challenges, yields remarkable improvements in mental health, productivity, and belonging.

This model of humane and sustainable logistics, prioritizing mental health, is not sector-specific. Its core principles and adaptable strategies are applicable across industries facing similar mental health and well-being challenges. This conference is designed for occupational safety and health professionals, academics, business leaders, and organizations promoting decent work.
