The pandemic has planted many changes in the world. If he modified the labor relations and the way of working.
We are living in an era of intense transformation and overtime.
Studies conducted by multiple investigators show an increase in the prevalence of depression, anxiety and stress due to post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of the covid crisis 19.
These months of pandemic by Covid-19, part of the population has lost the sense of control over its welfare state, which has directly affected the emotional balance.

The Human Resources have in these moments the Opportunity and Responsibility implement implementation programs to benefit the employee, allowing only the physical health with the training programs that proliferate on the principle of the pandemic in the companies, its management programs to the salud spiritual, we can differentiate these programs into:
- Reactives, those that propose solutions when the problem is present, such as telephone lines of support to the employee, etc.
- For activists, those who propose preventive measures to treat the cause and avoid generating the problem, as well as flexibility policies, individualization, dealing with each other to know their situation and support needs, as well as training sessions
While we can be proactive, we will explore new solutions and mitigate the effects of COVID-19 in the mental health of our employees.
Employees want to help and feel that their company needs to do more to protect the mental health of their workforce.
If we initiate these conversations, as much as the Human Resources level as a directive, we can start making some changes.
