Republic of the Philippines – Department of Labor and Employment
DOLE mandates mental health program in workplaces

Underscoring the importance of promoting workers’ mental health, the labor department has mandated the adoption and implementation of mental health policies and programs in workplaces.

In Department Order No. 208, signed on February 11, 2020, Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III provided the guidelines to employers and workers for the effective implementation of mental health policies and programs in accordance with RA11036 or the Mental Health Act.

“The directive hopes to raise further awareness, prevent stigma and discrimination among Filipino workers in as far as mental health conditions are concerned and provide support to workers with mental health issues for them to gain access to medical health services,” Bello said.

Components of a mental health program shall include advocacy, information, education, training as well as promotion and enhancement of workers’ well-being; non-discriminatory policies and practices; confidentiality of information; disclosure of medical or mental condition; work accommodation and work arrangement; treatment, rehabilitation and referral system; benefits and compensation, among others.
