Mental Health and Substance Abuse in the Workplace Webinar

Culture of Care in the Corporate Workspace
Date: 21st July 2026
Time: 04.00 pm-06.00 pm
Delivery Mode:Â Zoom /Online
Overview
Mental health has emerged as one of the most critical workplace issues of our time, affecting employees across all professions, industries and organizational tiers. The relentless demands of modern corporate environments, amplified by economic pressures, rapid technological disruptions, personal challenges and evolving workplace expectations have contributed to rising levels of stress, anxiety, burnout, depression etc.
Simultaneously, substance abuse continues to pose deep, systemic challenges within organizations, silently eroding employee well-being, team dynamics, and overall institutional performance. The misuse of alcohol, prescriptions drugs and other substances manifest heavily on corporate balance sheets through chronic absenteeism, present physical but mentally disengaged (presenteeism). Comprises decision making, operational safety hazards, escalating healthcare costs.
Accountants, finance experts, business leaders, doctors just to name a few often operate in high-pressure ecosystems characterized by demanding workloads, uncompromising compliance deadlines and significant fiduciary responsibilities. These make them vulnerable to psychological risks. Yet despite growing awareness, mental health and substance abuse remain shrouded in stigma, frequently preventing individuals from seeking timely intervention. Today organizations are promoting psychological well-being not as a human resource preference but a strategic necessity.
It is against this background that this webinar has been designed to create a platform for open, stigma free dialogue to equip individuals and organizational leaders with the practical strategies required to identify risks early, foster a culture of care, building resilient, psychologically safes workplaces.
