People & culture A good place to work Mental health Mental health is an essential part of health and well-being. We want to be a responsible workplace in which employees thrive and enjoy spending their time at work. Regardless of the causes, experiencing stress has serious consequences for an employee as well as a workplace. At Demant, we understand there is a potential negative impact on mental health related to work, and we do what we can to prevent this. Aspects of working with stress management vary from place to place, including cultural considerations and legal regula- tions. Consequently, stress is handled on a local scale with HR departments across the Demant Group. Commonly, stress is handled in a collaboration between employee, manager and HR. The overall responsibility lies with HR management in tight collaboration with relevant managers. An important reason for this has been the general situation with coronavirus, which has affected us all. To mitigate, we offer stress awareness workshops online and continue to increase the effort towards those employees that return from sick leave and make the experience of returning to work at Demant even better than it is today. For 2022 , we aim to retain the good work and progress we continue to make in this area and our position on workplace flexibility supports this work.

At our sites in Denmark, we have experienced some increase in the number of employees who have been through our stress handling process. 95 Demant ∙ Sustainability Report 2021
