In a significant initiative aimed at improving workplace quality and enhancing mental health, the Sharjah Works Department has successfully launched a vibrant program entitled “Take a Break and Join Us.” This event combined engaging activities with valuable insights, creating an interactive atmosphere that aimed to foster a positive work environment.
Workshop on Mental Health’s Impact on Professional Life
The initiative featured a comprehensive workshop titled “Mental Health and Its Impact on Professional Life,” led by psychological consultant Dr. Jassim Al Marzouqi. In this session, Al Marzouqi highlighted the various psychological challenges employees may encounter and discussed strategies for maintaining a balance between work-related stress and personal life. Such discussions are vital for promoting a culture where mental well-being is prioritized, aligning perfectly with the Sharjah Works Department’s efforts to cultivate a supportive work environment.
Exhibition for Local Producers
Additionally, the event showcased an exhibition for local producers, offering participants the opportunity to explore a variety of local products. This element not only supported small community projects but also encouraged a sense of collaboration among employees, illustrating how the Sharjah Works Department can weave community involvement into the workplace fabric.
Recreational Competitions and Traditional Foods
The initiative also included entertaining competitions and the distribution of traditional foods to employees, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie and joy. Wrapping up the event, a workshop in collaboration with the Mahtab Center for Composite Visual Art, titled “Creating Gismonait,” allowed participants to express their artistic skills through innovative and enjoyable methods. This creativity reflects the overarching goal of how the Sharjah Works Department contributes to the holistic development of employees.
