Lundbeck Brasil gives staff a day off for World Mental Health Day

Lundbeck Brasil closed its operations for a day and gave all employees time off for World Mental Health Day.

The company says the break is part of a wider effort to support staff, including psychological support, telemedicine and flexible work.

The move comes as Brazil recorded 546,000 work absences due to mental health conditions in 2025, according to the article.

A day off cannot solve every problem, but it gives workers time to rest and shows that mental health is part of workplace wellbeing.
