KUALA LUMPUR: An Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) should be introduced at workplaces to help provide prevention and early intervention for employees affected by stress as well as emotional and mental health issues.
Making the suggestion, National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health chairman Tan Sri Lee Lam Thye said without the EAP, employees with such conditions could not be identified and assisted, jeopardising their job performance.
He said mental health education must be increased at workplaces because it could help address the rise of psychosocial problems in society, noting that no workplace was immune to mental health issues. — Bernama
