Mental Health at Work: What Companies Still Get Wrong | ExxcelênciaCast EP.3

A company can meet every safety requirement and still fail to protect the people inside it. In this episode of **ExxcelênciaCast**, Thiago Rodrigues talks with **Angélica Lopes**, psychologist and former HR manager with 14 years of experience, about mental health at work, psychosocial risks, leadership, workplace culture, and the human side of safety. Using Brazil's NR-1 regulatory update as a starting point, the conversation goes far beyond compliance and asks a more important question: **how can companies protect people when the risk is not only physical?** 💥 IN THIS EPISODE: • Why certificates do not guarantee safe behavior • Why employees cannot simply leave personal problems at the door • How psychosocial risks can affect performance, absenteeism, and safety • Why HR and leaders need to recognize emotional warning signs • How psychological support can help companies address workplace risks • Why trust and reporting channels matter when dealing with harassment • How flexibility and workplace culture influence employee retention 📌 **People are not machines. Mental health, safety, performance, and leadership are more connected than many companies realize.** The conversation covers workplace well-being, emotional health, psychosocial risk management, employee training, HR, leadership, harassment, psychological support, retention, and organizational culture. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:00 Certificate vs. culture 09:00 Safety as a value, not an obligation 15:05 Mental health and psychosocial risks at work 23:43 Real case: when a personal problem affects work 30:15 How companies can address psychosocial risks 33:09 Harassment, reporting channels, and trust 38:04 Employee retention and workplace flexibility ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🛠️ EXXCELÊNCIA SOLUÇÕES EMPRESARIAIS 🎙️ ExxcelênciaCast — Safety That Creates Value Host: Thiago Rodrigues Guest: Angélica Lopes Executive Producer: Milena Sousa ✨ Sponsored by: CCPR | Karolina Brunner | Turci Engenharia
