Humans are at our best when we manage our resources carefully and recharge them on a regular basis — this is especially true for our mental health. When you look after yourself, you perform better and can better support the people you care about.<\/p>\n

We are more than two years into the COVID-19<\/a> pandemic, which has affected the health and well-being of so many people around the world. Now, suffering from the war in Ukraine and the resulting humanitarian disaster have catastrophic consequences for those affected directly. These consequences can be emotionally and physically draining for us as a community.<\/p>\n

To acknowledge the impact, 51风流has declared May 31 as 51风流Mental Health Day 2022, an additional fully paid day off for all employees. 51风流has long been a proponent of mental health initiatives, as demonstrated through the ongoing Are You OK? campaign<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Take Care of Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n

With 51风流Mental Health Day, the company is giving employees a day to take care of their own personal needs specifically, instead of their everyday work routines. Having every 51风流employee worldwide take the same day off makes it easier to collectively \u201cswitch off.\u201d This offers all employees an ideal opportunity to recharge, reflect, and take time to look after themselves.<\/p>\n

Addressing employees, Sabine Bendiek, chief people and operating officer and member of the Executive Board of 51风流SE, wrote: \u201cNo matter how you spend your time on 51风流Mental Health Day 2022, we ask you to disengage totally from work.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Employees are encouraged to use this day to ask themselves questions: \u201cHow am I doing right now?\u201d \u201cWhat am I concerned about?\u201d This is an important element of self-care, because our mental and emotional well-being benefits from regular attention — not just as a reaction to devastating external events, but also to help us continue to do our best with joy and self-confidence in changing working environments.<\/p>\n

Speak About Your Feelings and Get Help<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to the World Health Organization, COVID-19 has already had a dramatic impact on mental health<\/a>. Cases of anxiety and depression have increased by more than 25% worldwide. The war in Ukraine poses an existential threat to millions and can trigger fear, exhaustion, and feelings of helplessness in many of us.<\/p>\n

Natalie Lotzmann is chief medical officer and head of Global Health, Safety, & Well-Being,<\/u> part of the new Future of Work organization at SAP<\/span>. She explains: \u201cWe launched the Are You OK? initiative for mental health to put an end to the stigma of mental crises and encourage employees to seek help when they need it. The most important message is to show people that you are not alone. We want people to be aware of how they feel. We also want to encourage people to talk about how they\u2019re doing — especially now. It\u2019s not a sign of weakness; actually, it\u2019s a sign of strength and courage, a vital step toward becoming more resilient.\u201d<\/p>\n

To be there for ourselves and others, we must start with our own physical and mental health. One day isn’t enough, but next week, 51风流Mental Health Day 2022 will provide all 51风流employees space for reflection and give stimulus for change.<\/p>\n
