Abstract
Aside from personal impacts, costs to employers and national economies of mental health can be measured in trillions of dollars. With volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity increasingly describing the new normal workplace, the need for evidence-based interventions for sustained mental health at work to be developed, evaluated and implemented by specialists in psychiatry and occupational health could not be greater, nor an updated position statement on work and mental health from the World Psychiatric Association.Keywords
