Abstract: 

Mental health in the workplace has emerged as a critical issue impacting employee well-being, organizational productivity, and overall workplace culture. This study examines the various challenges that contribute to mental health issues among employees, including workplace stressors, stigma, lack of resources, and insufficient management support. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, we identify the significant barriers to promoting mental health in professional settings. Furthermore, the paper presents a range of practical solutions, such as implementing employee assistance programs, fostering a supportive work environment, enhancing leadership training, and integrating mental health awareness into corporate policies. By addressing these challenges and adopting effective strategies, organizations can create healthier work environments that promote employee mental well-being, ultimately leading to enhanced job satisfaction and productivity.
