Session 2: Unleashing Innovation: Exploring the Power of Creative Problem Solving
The global mental health crisis presents significant challenges to workforce productivity and retention. As technology evolves, assessing its role in promoting wellbeing becomes crucial for understanding its impact on employees and business outcomes. Familiarity with initiatives like the Dubai Wellbeing Strategy is vital, given recent exacerbating factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions. Despite global awareness, many individuals, including those in the UAE and New Zealand, fail to seek mental health care. Addressing this crisis requires prioritizing psychological safety in the workplace and implementing effective therapies. Poor mental health adversely affects business performance, emphasizing the need for interventions like data-driven leadership and AI integration in wellness initiatives. Collaborative research efforts aim to drive positive change, highlighting the importance of holistic approaches and technological advancement, as demonstrated by the UAE's efforts in mental health.
