The Mental Health Awareness Week serves as a reminder of the essential need to prioritize our mental well-being, not just for this week but consistently. The Mental Health status of UNITH’s people are at the heart of UNITH's core values, so it is critical for us to establish a supportive environment that promotes the mental and emotional well-being of our team members.
This is how we make mental health and employee well-being a top priority in our organization:
Recognizing the importance of flexibility, we embrace a hybrid work model that allows our employees to balance work and personal commitments. We offer the opportunity to work both from home and in our office. We encourage team members to join us in person at least once a week to enhance productivity, promote collaboration, and uphold our vibrant office culture.
Despite the hybrid work model, we are committed to creating a healthy working environment in the office. Our office has a rooftop terrace filled with natural light, offering a peaceful spot for recharging during the day. In order to support the productivity and health of our team, we offer fresh fruits, vegetables, nutritious shots, and snacks. We believe that creating a healthy environment is crucial for supporting the overall well-being of our team.
We value the feedback of our team. Twice a year, we conduct well-being surveys to gather insights into the mental health and overall satisfaction of our employees. The results are carefully analyzed and presented to the team, driving discussions and collaborative efforts to find effective solutions and improvements.
Apart from our regular activities, we host special events like yoga classes and volleyball games. These activities provide opportunities for our employees to unwind, socialize with coworkers, and engage in activities that are good both body and mind.
Last summer, we headed out of the city for a company retreat. During this off-site we not only had workshops, but also incorporated fresh meals prepared by a home chef, sports, healthy home and well-being activities into the schedule. This off-site retreat was a refreshing break from the routine.
Our employee benefits package includes comprehensive insurance coverage that extends to mental health support. Our top priority is to provide easy access to professional help and resources so that our team members receive the necessary support when dealing with stressful periods or mental health challenges.
Staying active is key to maintaining both physical and mental well-being. That is why we offer company discounts for various sports classes, encouraging our employees to stay active and prioritize self-care with regular physical activity.
UNITH's commitment to mental health and employee well-being goes beyond a one-time effort, becoming a fundamental aspect of our organizational culture. In honor of Mental Health Awareness Week, let's maintain our focus on mental well-being, extend support to one another, and cultivate a workplace that enables everyone to flourish.
