Emirates Global Aluminium has outreach sessions for about half of its 7,000-strong crew.
Prioritizing Employee Well-Being
Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA), a prominent UAE-based employer with over 7,000 employees, has taken significant steps to prioritize the mental well-being of its workforce.
Recognizing the importance of mental health, EGA has established a dedicated support network to ensure that employees no longer suffer in silence.
Breaking Barriers in Heavy Industry
Historically, heavy industries, often dominated by male workers, have witnessed a reluctance to openly discuss mental health issues. EGA is breaking this pattern by actively addressing mental health concerns within its workforce.
The Inspiration Behind Aqua Helmets
Inspired by the heroic efforts of the Syrian civil defence volunteers, famously known as the White Helmets, EGA has introduced its own initiative known as the “Aqua Helmets.”
This program is designed to offer mental health treatment and support to individuals facing crises or struggling with anxiety among EGA’s workforce.
It symbolizes the company’s commitment to fostering a workplace environment where mental well-being is valued and prioritized.
