Godrej L'Affaire advocates workplace mental health with new film

This World Mental Health Day, Godrej L'Affaire presents a campaign film that uncovers professionals' often-overlooked mental health journeys. The film captures the emotional battles behind everyday achievements through relatable stories and light-hearted dialogue, emphasising the need for open conversations about mental health in the workplace.

In a corporate environment, success is frequently celebrated, yet the challenges many face remain hidden. Godrej L'Affaire aims to change this narrative by showcasing the internal struggles of various team members, from interns to project managers. The campaign highlights the importance of fostering a culture where individuals feel comfortable discussing their mental health without fear of judgment.

Mental health affects employees across all levels. Research indicates that a significant portion of the workforce experiences mental health challenges, often feeling isolated in their struggles. According to research by Deloitte, 47% of global employees experience mental health issues at work (Deloitte Insights, 2023, Mental Health and Well-being in the Workplace). This campaign encourages professionals to share their experiences and seek support, promoting resources such as counselling and peer support groups. The film serves as a reminder that behind every professional role is a person navigating their own emotional landscape.

Commenting on the campaign, Sujit Patil, chief communications officer, Godrej Industries Group, said, “This campaign encourages organisations to foster an environment where individuals feel heard, supported, and have access to resources and teams they can approach when feeling low. Mental health issues in the workplace have become quite common, and there is always more to someone's story than meets the eye. Companies should endeavor to create a culture of support to ensure the well-being of all.”
