OAG EMBARKS ON PRIORITIZING MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE


In today’s fast-paced and often high-pressured work environment, the significance of having A STABLE AND HEALTHY MIND cannot be overemphasised.

Organizations are increasingly recognizing that the mental well-being of employees is not just a personal choice issue; it also directly impacts productivity, employee satisfaction, and overall company success.

The Office of the Auditor General yesterday hosted a mental-health expert Mr Christopher Munetsi to address staff on pertinent issues pertaining to MENTAL HEALTH IN THE WORKPLACE.

In his core message, Mr Munetsi highlighted that "...mental health plays a crucial role in how employees perform their tasks. When individuals experience mental health challenges, such as anxiety or depression, their ability to focus, make decisions, and engage with colleagues can diminish. Poor mental health can lead to increased absenteeism, reduced productivity, and can even go to an extent of being unable to develop healthy relationship with co-workers. Employees with stable mental health tend to be more engaged, more creative, and committed to their work".

Mr Munetsi further said that it is important to "...create a work environment that prioritizes mental health benefits for both employees and the organization. Employers can implement several strategies to support mental well-being". Such as providing access to counselling services, employee assistance programs, and mental health workshops that can equip employees with the tools they need to manage stress and improve their mental well-being.

Open Communication, fostering an environment where employees feel safe discussing mental health concerns can reduce stigma and encourage individuals to seek help when needed.

Promoting Work-Life Balance, encouraging employees to take breaks, use their vacation time, and disconnect after work hours can prevent burnout and promote a healthier work-life balance.

Investing in mental health is not just a moral imperative; it’s also a smart business strategy. A mentally healthy workforce is more productive, engaged, and resilient. Organizations that prioritize mental well-being not only enhance employee satisfaction but also improve their overall performance and profitability.

As we navigate the complexities of modern work life, the importance of stable mental health in the workplace will only continue to grow. By fostering a culture that values mental well-being, organizations can create an environment where employees thrive, leading to lasting success for both individuals and the company as a whole.

ACTING AUDITOR GENERAL Ms. Keneilwe Senyarelo opens the 2024 INTER-SAI study tour which started yesterday & ends today. Her guests of honour are the Auditor General of Lesotho Ms Mathabo Gail Makenete and the Auditor General of Eswatini Mr. Timothy Matsebula. Executive and Senior managers from OAG were also in attendance.

The purpose and huge importance of such study tours stems from personal development and establishment of strong lasting collaborations.

During this 2024 Inter-SAI, SAI’s were able to share their technical experiences post COVID – 19 and their best interventions to uphold the audit profession after the pandemic. INTER-SAI was disrupted by the COVID19 pandemic and it had to be suspended for four years.

This year's theme is “SAI Reforms Post-COVID 19”.
