Corporate mental health training should cover more practical topics that focus on preventing stress and burnout. You can onboard experts to take mental health information sessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of mental health training should be to open conversations about mental health and equip people with tools to create a safe, engaged, and productive workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springworks.in\/\">Springworks<\/a>, we regularly conduct mental well-being sessions where we ask experts to come and talk to our employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/rEkECiyBRIm5B6kaSr0Oq_W44KgMM7aEROny6zXnh533UMRFBVf_0qd6cXgSOVo_CdHwsFXvRNvEyfNHTWS_4srJx-ga9HC1afkGJPFPS8jUTRP_6QiD80cXYNS9CDFFNW6OF1eO\" alt=\"mental health session\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-very-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><strong>Quick Fact: 50% of all corporate employees in India suffer from stress and depression, according to the ASSOCHAM 2015 report.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-use-technology-to-stay-connected-with-teams\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Use_technology_to_stay_connected_with_teams\"><\/span><strong>2.
