Job insecurity: the main threat to mental health
On the other hand, the campaign also seeks to denounce these risk factors that affect mental health of people at work, where job insecurity, in its various forms, is emerging as the main cause of poor mental health. Low wages, temporary work, lack of work-life balance, high work pace or overload, harassment in the workplace, wage gap or gender inequality, are some of these forms of job precariousness that SALUD MENTAL ESPAÑA seeks to address fight. To this end, the Confederation invites companies to change their work philosophy, to prevent psychosocial risks, just as other professional risks are prevented, and to promote healthy and safe working environments for the mental health of their employees. Even in those who think they have accompanying protocols, because the perceptions of some parties and others can vary substantially. This is reflected in the Catalan Organizations Mental Health and Stigma Report, which shows that the 76% of companies declare that they care about mental health, while the figure drops to 47% when asking for information on this corporate commitment and the percentage drops further, up to 38%, if people with mental health problems respond.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][dt_media_gallery_carousel image_border_radius=”0px” project_icon_border_width=”0px” arrow_bg_width=”36x” arrow_border_width=”0px” r_arrow_icon_paddings=”0px 0px 0px 0px” r_arrow_v_offset=”0px” l_arrow_icon_paddings=”0px 0px 0px 0px” l_arrow_v_offset=”0px” include=”129544,129543,129656,129545,129542,129657″ css_dt_gallery_carousel=”.vc_custom_1728469569529{border-radius: 15px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text css=””]
