EMPLOYMENT Minister Agni Deo Singh says the ministry will need the help of employers to assist employees in addressing mental health issues in the workplace.
Mr Singh said the ministry was not well equipped to cover this certain area.
“We are not all that well equipped honestly, to see how we can assist with mental wellbeing,” Mr Singh said.
“We expect employers with those kinds of numbers to have workplace counselling where employees can be assisted, and they will be the ones who should be conducting those things.
Mr Singh said that as far as the ministry was concerned, “that is not an area that we are able to cover right now”.
