New Delhi: The pandemic has outlined the importance of health for everyone, and the importance of mental health can't be overlooked. Depression is much more than suicidal thoughts, and is often ignored as part of a busy lifestyle. More so, the quest to compete in client service businesses often leaves employees jaded and burnt out.
Shweta Shroff Chopra, Partner at Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co. describes herself as a mental health champion. She told ET Now: "It has been an incredibly challenging year for everyone and there is ongoing uncertainty and anxiety about the rapidly spreading Omicron variant. Given that this is a lean period of the year, we believe it would be the right way to acknowledge how hard everyone has worked and support them to take the time off to rejuvenate, in line with our focus on Mental Health & Wellbeing."
However, she admits that by virtue of being in the client service business, client needs will always remain on the firm's top priority and it is ensured that their needs are looked after as usual, but it does not require pressure to be put on the entire system. She stressed on the need to acknowledge that rest is a key part of elite performance and excellence, the two important values which she feels her firm stands for.
