Ranchi, Sept 19 : Central Coalfields Limited (CCL) organised a workshop on “Mental Health and Well-being” to raise awareness about the importance of mental health and overall employee welfare.
The programme was organised by CCL’s Human Resource Development (HRD) Department in association with the Welfare Department. A total of 57 employees and officials, including SOs (HR) from the headquarters and various operational areas, participated in the workshop.
CCL General Manager (HRD) M.F. Haq and General Manager (Welfare) S.K. Thakur attended the inaugural session. Experts from the Central Institute of Psychiatry (CIP), Ranchi, Rashmi Birua and Kalpana Toppo, interacted with participants and shared insights on various aspects of mental health and well-being.
The interactive sessions covered key issues such as stress management, mental health awareness and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Participants also discussed ways to recognise workplace stress and adopt effective measures to manage it.
The workshop highlighted that mental health is an important component of overall health and can have a significant bearing on an employee’s personal well-being and professional functioning.
CCL said such initiatives are particularly relevant in the mining sector, where employees often work in challenging and demanding environments. Awareness about mental health, stress management and a positive workplace environment can support employee well-being and work-life balance.
The company said it continues to promote initiatives aimed at employee welfare, a healthy work environment and better work-life balance through awareness and capacity-building programmes.
