Mental Health & Wellbeing
Why Mental Health is a Workplace Priority
Prioritising workplace mental health involves more than enhancing productivity and engagement; it requires fostering environments where employees feel safe, respected, and valued.
For many Muslim professionals, the lack of awareness or accommodation for faith-based needs can lead to:
• Feelings of isolation or marginalisation
• Pressure to suppress religious identity
• Lack of belonging in team dynamics
• Stress from navigating environments that are unintentionally exclusive
These invisible barriers can result in reduced confidence, disengagement, or even depression — affecting both individuals and teams.
