Издание на английском языке
Mental health is crucial to how well staff are engaged, motivated and able to perform effectively in their role. Staff with good mental health are likely to be more productive, perform better and have fewer accidents. It is in the interests of the employer to implement policies and practices which promote good mental health and mitigate the effects of work-related stressors wherever possible. This guide sets out to provide useful information for shipping and ship management companies on how best to devise and implement mental health policies and practices to promote and protect positive mental health shoreside and on board.
