“Managing stress and maintaining emotional balance are essential for every employee. A supportive, safe, and healthy work environment allows people to perform at their best with greater productivity, creativity, and confidence,” he said. He also encouraged employees to speak openly with their supervisors whenever they need support.

Throughout the session, Edlin Juliani discussed the growing importance of workplace mental health, including common stress triggers, the impact of unmanaged mental strain, and practical ways to recognize and address early signs of burnout or emotional distress. The seminar also created space for employees to ask questions and share concerns in a safe environment.

Participants actively engaged in the discussion. Teguh Suwondo from the Flight & Camp Department asked about effective relaxation techniques to manage work-related pressure, while Cindy Mayangsari Siden from the Health, Safety & Environment Department raised questions about handling manipulative individuals who may negatively influence mental well-being in professional and social settings.
