I really liked the way you explained mental safety within the well-being of everyone in the organization. I think we always focus more on whether a person's physical condition allows them to work, leaving aside their mental health. Very good point.
ResponderEliminarI agree with some of your answers. I believe that Employment Law is very important to ensure a good relationship between the employer and the employees, as well as between employees since many times a few injustices occur and those affected by lack of knowledge of this law end up ignoring the situation, therefore, companies should also train them and inform them about their rights.
ResponderEliminarhealth comes first, it is critical that employees have the comfort and safety that are protected by law. good topic.
