I found the emphasis on mental health as a dimension of diversity particularly impactful. This approach highlights the need for broader acceptance and support for individuals with mental health conditions, ensuring that they feel included and respected in the workplace.
This perspective is especially relevant in today's world, where mental health challenges are increasingly recognized but not always supported adequately in professional settings. For instance, in my home country, Indonesia, I have seen cases where people face discrimination due to their mental health status. A friend of mine, for example, was terminated from his job after disclosing that he was receiving psychiatric treatment, even though his condition did not affect his job performance. This example underscores the urgent need for organisations to adopt policies and practices that destigmatise mental health and embrace it as part of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion).
