Create A Productive And Comfortable Work Environment

JAKARTA – The Sub-Directorate of the Work Health Safety and Welfare Safety System (K3K) of the Human Resources Directorate (HR) of Hasanuddin University (Unhas) provides mental health technical guidance to create a healthy and productive work environment.

Head of the Sub-Directorate of K3K Unhas Prof Lalu Muhammad Saleh in Makassar, Tuesday, said that with this activity, it is hoped that there will be an increase in awareness, understanding, and concern for mental health issues in the work environment and encourage the creation of a healthy, safe and productive environment.

Mental health is an issue that we must face together. Currently, we see that more and more cases are related to mental disorders, so workplace health awareness must be built not only about physical but also mental health by creating more empathic space, open, and supporting each other,” he said.

Director of Human Resources Unhas Prof. Idar Mappangara also voiced the importance of creating a comfortable and safe workspace in Unhas.

“We are targeting zero accidents and want to make Unhas a comfortable workplace, both physically and psychologically,” he said.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chancellor for Human Resources, Alumni, and Information Systems of Unhas Prof Farida Patittingi said that mental health has an important role in shaping the spirit of work.

Mental health issues are often neglected in the work environment, even though it really determines productivity and comfort. Mental health must be a priority, not something that is taken lightly,” said Prof Farida.

This activity presents Dr. Sonny Teddy Lisal, SpKJ as the main resource person. In his material, he explained that mental health is currently a global concern and is very important to prevent mental disorders in the work environment.

“People with good mental health will be able to work optimally and carry out their role effectively, so that’s why mental health is so important for us to pay attention to,” he said.

He also outlined several factors that cause mental disorders, such as biological factors (genetics), psychology (past trauma and prolonged stress), as well as environmental factors, including social and workplace pressure that is not conducive.

To prevent mental disorders, Dr. Sonny appealed to all participants to maintain a healthy lifestyle, build positive social relationships, and manage stress well.

“Work-life balance is an important key in maintaining mental health. Maintaining a balance between work and personal life is not only a matter of dividing time, but also about quality of life,” said Dr Sonny.
