There is nothing wrong with being a hard worker. However, nonstop pressure and responsibilities at work can lead to stress. When a person can’t find ways to relieve that stress, it can cause mental health problems. For this reason, more and more companies are recognizing the importance of something called “mental health leave.” It’s common throughout the world for workers to take sick leave when they are physically ill. The concept of mental health leave is relatively new, but it is catching on.
做為一名認真的員工並沒有錯。然而，工作中不間斷的壓力及責任可能會導致心理壓力。當一個人無法找到方法紓解那種壓力時，就會造成心理疾病。出於這個原因，越來越多公司開始認知到所謂「心理健康假」的重要性。當員工生理上生病時，請病假在全世界是很常見的。心理健康假相對來說是新概念，但也漸漸開始流行了。
