For some people, work provides a sense of purpose, but for others, it can be a reason for their deteriorating mental health
No two people are, feel, or react to things the same way, so it makes sense that what works for one, might not work for another; and that includes work itself. While having a job for some can bring a sense of fulfillment and stability in life, for others, it can take a toll on their mental or even physical health.
Monster’s survey also revealed that 78% of workers don’t think their employer is doing enough to address their mental wellness at work. Out of the respondents who reported great mental health, roughly six-in-ten said that they attribute it to the fact their employers allow time away from the office for doctors, therapy, and other health-related appointments.

It’s evident that many people face mental health-related troubles or difficulties, which might interfere with their job performance or influence their decision on what to do/where to work. The Office of Disability Employment Policy (ODEP) notes that mental health conditions can impact various aspects of an individual’s life, including the ability to achieve maximum productivity in the workplace, which is why there are certain laws and policies in place.
According to the ODEP, “Under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other nondiscrimination laws, most employers must provide ‘reasonable accommodations’ to qualified employees with disabilities.”
The source continues to point out that reasonable accommodations are adjustments that need to be made at work in order for qualified employees with disabilities to perform the essential functions of their jobs. Some of such accommodations include flexibility regarding the workplace, scheduling adjustments, flexibility regarding sick leave and other arrangements, as well as breaks, among other things.
