It acknowledges that manufacturing industries face an increasing amount of competition in the market, utilizing automation and robotics to increase productivity. This pressure has caused a reduction in manual labor which can lead to increased stress, anxiety, and depression among industrial workers. Additionally, manufacturing employers often fail to provide adequate mental health services to the employees, leading to further distress and disruption in the workplace. The paper presents several strategies for managing mental health in the manufacturing workforce, such as providing mandatory mental health training and support for employees, utilizing mindfulness practice and mental health resources, and engaging with a range of mental health providers. It also suggests the implementation of flexible working practices to promote employee engagement, the use of restorative practices, and the introduction of early interventions such as peer-mentoring and employer-paid leave for dealing with mental health issues. The paper highlights the importance of follow-up support to ensure the effectiveness of mental health management efforts and the ongoing maintenance of improved mental health in the workplace.
