WHO calls for yoga classes in workplace to improve employee mental health

BPR: While untold millions have lost confidence in medical institutions as politics become a leading factor in determining guidelines and recommendations, the World Health Organization (WHO) made sure to remind how serious they are with some ideas that include employers and yoga.

A politically motivated, one-size-fits-all response to COVID and voicing serious concerns over the potential racist implications of referring to a virus as “monkeypox” have been just a few of the ways the WHO and Director General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus have worked to influence change. Now, instead of looking at the flaws in culture that have perpetuated victimhood as an aspirational end, with the help of the International Labor Organization (ILO), they have released a policy brief on Mental Health at Work that could soon find workers packing a gym bag on their way to the office.

Seeking to address “an estimated 12 billion workdays…lost annually due to depression and anxiety,” the organizations unveiled their brief Wednesday that would compel manager training to, in certain cases provide “individual interventions in the workplace” that would be “delivered straight to a worker who then completes them, with or without guidance from a competent practitioner. They include psychosocial interventions and opportunities for leisure-based physical activity.” more here
