Work is a very important in most people’s adult life, and has personal, economic and social value. Therefore work affects a person’s mental health, while in turn an employee’s mental health affects the workplace. Mental health problems impact on various dimensions: individuals, their families and co-workers, organizations, and the broader community. We reviewed policies, such as WHO and ILO, and programs of mental health prevention and promotion in workplace; beyondblue National Workplace Program in Austrailia, EAP and Wellness Outreach at Work in US. Results of the programs have shown significantly: increases knowledge, decreases stigma, improves attitudes, increases confidence to assist someone to seek help. Two large United Nations agencies recommended that national police and program should assist employers and employees in raising awareness of the benefits of good mental health practices and encourage the implementation of strategies to maintain a healthy working environment. The findings suggest that messages need to be reinforced policy implementation to develop mental health prevention and various intervention programs in Korea.
