Mental health is a key aspect of productivity. When things are good, we often take for granted how essential our mental health is in making the progress we want and achieving the business goals that we strive for.

To the untrained eye or the non-entrepreneur, it’s just the ‘spare room’. To you — the self-proclaimed Richard Branson! — it’s going to be the home office of your dreams. You have a blank canvass to build your dreams and millions upon, but where do you start?

Business productivity is defined as the ratio between the production obtained and the resources used to obtain that production. It’s, therefore, an indicator of efficiency. The objective is always to do more with less.

As mental health is increasingly receiving the awareness that it rightly deserves, workplaces are also slowly starting to adapt their environments and values in order to effectively be able to manage and offer the appropriate support that anybody might require.

Some teams have had to learn from scratch how to collaborate successfully in a remote setting.
