1.0 INTRODUCTION

Background of study is about mental disorders constitute a substantial and

growing disease burden globally. In 2010, about 10% of the global burden of disease is
attributed to neuropsychiatric disorders, mostly due to the high prevalence and
chronicity of the more commonly occurring mental disorders. Despite the growing
burden of mental illness, mental health services remain a low priority in most low and
middle income countries (LMICs), where greater attention is given to the control and
eradication of infectious diseases as well as to conditions associated with reproductive,
maternal and child health. This may be understandable, due to the high mortalities and
morbidities that are directly associated with these priority conditions, but it translates
into neglect and a lack of access to care, for the increasing population with mental
health conditions.

Mental health refers to our cognitive, behavioral, and emotional wellbeing .This is
all about how we think, feel, and behave. The term 'mental health' is sometimes used to
mean an absence of a mental disorder. Mental health can affect our daily life,
relationships, and even physical health. Mental health also includes a person's ability to
enjoy life with is to attain a balance between life activities and efforts to achieve
psychological resilience.

Risk factors have the potential to develop mental health problems, no matter how
old we are, whether we are male or female, rich or poor, or which ethnic group we
belong to. Almost 1 in 5 Americans experiences mental health problems each year
(18.5 percent). In the United States, in 2015, an estimated 9.8 million adults (over 18)
had a serious mental disorder. That equates to 4.8 percent of all American adults. A
large proportion of the people who have a mental disorder have more than one. In the
U.S. and much of the developed world, mental disorders are one of the leading causes
of disability. The most common types of mental illness are anxiety disorders, mood
disorders, and schizophrenia disorders.

 There are advantages of mental health which is mental health acts secure the
safety of vulnerable people and helps to regain control on their lives. Other than that
compulsory treatment helps to prevent further deterioration of mental health .Then
aimed to provide effective care and treatments whereas ensure better after care to
protect the safety of other people.

Other than that this is disadvantages of mental health are open to social abuse
and elderly patients can be more defenseless in this respect. Specifically they may be
invoked to control behavior, misused for material gain and implicated in subtle
expressions of revenge. They are sometimes invoked to hasten divorce proceedings
and to secure the custody of children by a specific parent. They are also used to control
the behavior of children by their parents. Mental Health designed to control psychiatric
patients are being enacted and enforced in some underdeveloped countries that lack an
efficient tribunal system to monitor their effects.

Depressed patients have a higher suicide risk than the population at large and
one of the reasons for detention is suicidality. Some of the subjective symptoms of
depression can be ameliorated by denying them, while compulsory detention may
reinforce depressive symptoms. Detention gives careers a false sense of security and
this may lead them to relax their vigilance towards the patient. The Mental Health Acts
increase the stigma associated with psychiatric illness and with the exuberant
expression of emotions. Patients who are under section or are frightened of being
placed under section may deliberately mask their symptoms in an attempt to have the
section lifted or to avoid sectioning.

 Figure 5.4.1 Attribute for Gender after Data Coding

These figures show the stages of how data coding works. One of the attributes
that involved is gender. We uncoded it from binary into words.

ii) Data Cleansing

 AGE

 Figure 5.4.3 Attribute for Age after Data Cleansing

These figures show before and after of how data cleansing happens. One
of the attributed that was use is age. We removed certain ages that were illogical
for our research.

 SELF EMPLOYMENT

 These figures also show the progress of how data cleansing occurs. One of the
attributed that we used in here is ‘self-employment’. We removed the whole data
because it does not related with our research.

These figures show the stages for data categorization. One of the attributes that
involved is age. We grouped the selected ages that can be included for our studies
purpose.

 (e) Derivatives Attributes

i) Data Coding
Data coding is the process of driving codes from the observed data. In qualitative
research the data is either obtained from observations, interviews, or from
questionnaires. The purpose of data coding is to bring essence and meaning of the data
that respondents have provided.

Based on our studies, the original data that has been collected for gender were
‘1’ and ‘-1’. For better understanding, we changed the binary codes into words. Hence,
we convert from ‘1’ into ‘female’ and ‘-1’ into ‘male’. We searched for ‘Find and Replace’
at the HOME section and proceed the progress by clicking the gender attribute and
replace each binary codes into their selective words.

ii) Data Cleansing

Data cleansing or data cleaning is the process of detecting and correcting (or
removing) corrupt or inaccurate records from a record set, table, or database and refers
to identifying incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or irrelevant parts of the data and then
replacing, modifying, or deleting the dirty or coarse data.

For instance, we choose the attribute of AGE and select certain ages that is
irrational for our studies. There were several wrong information such as ages that has
negatives, ages that was up to 1000, some were below 18 and the rest is out of range.
Our range for this research is only between 18 until 60. Hence, most age is out of the
league and has been deleted from the data.

Next, we even selected SELF EMPLOYMENT as one of the data that we

cleansed. We decided to delete the whole attribute because the whole information was
not giving any benefits for our research.

16 | P a g e
 iii) Data Categorization
Categorization is the process through which ideas and objects are recognized,
differentiated, classified, and understood. The word “categorization” implies that objects
are sorted into categories, usually for some specific purpose.

In this topic, we categorized age into simpler groups where it is divided into two,
such as ‘Young Adult’ and ‘Senior Adult’. We grouped them by using IF function (for
excel). Young Adult is represented for people who aged 18 until 35 meanwhile Senior
Adult is for 36 until 60 years old. By doing this, it will organized their range in their right
groups.

‘=IF(A2<=35,”Young Adult”, ”Senior Adult”)’

Figure 5.5.1 Formula for Age for Categorization

iv) Data Classification

Data classification is the process of sorting and categorizing data into various
types, forms or any other distinct class. Data classification enables the separation and
classification of data according to data set requirements for various business or
personal objectives.

According to our data, we used two attributes to derive one new attribute. We
classify them into ‘type of people’ such as extrovert and introvert. In this case, if the data
is ‘1’ for both ‘cowokers’ and ‘supervisors’, thus it will be ‘extrovert’ but if the data is
other than that, then the result will be ‘introvert’. We used IF function for this process.

‘=IF(AND(S2<=1,U2=1),”extrovert”,”introvert”)’
Figure 5.5.2 Formula for Type of Person for Classification

17 | P a g e
 (f) Data Analysis
Since we wanted to investigate if the awareness of mental health disorders in tech
workplace are provided by the employer, we decided to focus on several attributes
which can be connected with it such as ‘Care Options’, ‘Benefits’, ‘Wellness Program’
and ‘Seek Help Treatment’. In these fields, it shows a similarity where four of them bring
the same objectives which can be associated to each another which is about the
awareness that employers provided to their employees.

Next is to evaluate which factors affected more on the workers. As for this, we chose
‘Work Interfere’, ’Remote Work’ and ‘Family History’. In this part, the three of them can
be related as the aspects for mental health condition since they could be the main
reason of mental health that occurs in society.

Finally to measure the competency among coworkers regarding negatives

consequences towards mental health condition at a workplace. The attributes that were
involved are ‘Mental Health Consequences’, ‘Physical Health Consequences’ and
‘Observed Consequences’. We tend to use these three since they have their own
preferences about the negatives consequences that happens in their workplace.

e) Data Issues

The only data issues that was bothering us is that we got ‘NA’ on certain data that were
collected, the figure is as the following below.

18 | P a g e
 (g) Relationship Analysis

19 | P a g e
 The bar chart above shows the awareness of mental health disorders in
technology workplace that provided by the employer. There are 4 types of convenience
provided by the employer which are benefits, care options, seek help and wellness
program and the study were observed in 5 country which are United Kingdom, United
States, Germany, Ireland and Canada. The colour represents the wellness program that
are red for Yes, orange for No and blue for Don’t know. As for the Yes it shows that the
employer provided the convenience, for No it shows that the employer did not provided
the convenience and for Don’t know or Not sure it shows that the employee they do not
know whether the convenience are provided or not.

As we can see, the highest number of employee is 81 which are they choose Yes
for benefits, No for care options, No for seek help and No for wellness program. The
second highest are at a total of 73 employees which are they choose Don’t know for
benefits, No for care options, No for seek help and No for wellness program. Therefore,
it is obvious that most of the employer did not provide care options,seek help and
wellness program for those who had mental health disorders at the workplace. This is
because the employer did not take mental health issue as a serious issue and they did
not want to provide budget for the conveniences.

In contrast, the lowest number of employee is 1 which are he chooses Don’t

know for benefits, Yes for care options, Yes for seek help and Don’t know for wellness
program. The second lowest is 2 which are they choose Yes for benefits, Yes for care
options, Don’t know for seek help and Yes for wellness program. The third lowest is 3
which are Yes for benefits,Yes for care options, Yes for seek help and Don’t know for
wellness program. We can say that only few of employers that fully alert of mental
health problem at workplace and they provide many supports to help the employees.

In conclusion, there are many employers who didn’t take mental health as
serious issue at the workplace. Mental health is a serious issue nowadays and
employers need to ensure that individual feel supported and able to ask for support
incontinuing or returning to work and are provided with the necessary resources to do
their job.

21 | P a g e
 The dashboard above shows two chart which are pie chart and stacked bar chart
.The pie chart above shows the age range of employee represent by colour. The Senior
Adult is represented in orange colour and Young Adult is represented in red colour. The
stacked bar chart represents the factors that affect someone’s mental health at the
workplace which are remote work,work interfere and family history. This dashboard
shows what is the factor affected the mental health based on age range.Based on the
pie chart,it is obvious that most of the employees are from Young Adult with the total
number of 918 employees and 329 of the employees are from Senior Adult. Thus,we
can say that most of the workers from the technology workplace are Young Adult with
the age of 18 until 35 years olds.

In the first place, most of the employees from Young Adult with a total of 133
employees choose No for remote work which means that if they working outside the
office such as site or go for outstation, they will not get mental health. They also choose
Never for work interfere which means that the mental health never came from work
burden. Lastly ,they choose No for family history which means none of their family
members suffer from mental health.

On the other hands, most of the employees from Senior Adult with a total number
of 46 employees choose No for remote work ,sometimes for work interfere which means
the work burden occasionally can cause the mental health and Yes for family history
which means that there are from their family members who suffer the mental health.

In summary, the employees did not get mental health by remote work or working
outside despite of their age. As for the work interfere and family history, it is affected
based on the person itself and normally from the Senior Adult because they did not
have the same energy and tend to easily tired compared to Young Adult.

24 | P a g e
 The dashboard above shows two chart which are packed bubbles and highlight
tables.The packed bubble above shows the gender represented by colour. The red
colour represents male employees and the orange colour represents female employees.
Obviously the different between male employees and female employee is very high
because the bubble for female is far more smaller than the bubble for male. The total
number of male employees are 987 and female employees are 280 which indicates the
difference of 707 employees. As for the highlight tables above, the colour for the highest
total numbers is the darkest and the lowest total numbers is the lightest because the
blue colour fading to shows the difference of total numbers .

Similarly, most employees from both genders choose No for all the 3 variables
that are observed consequences,physical health consequences and mental health
consequences with a total of 66 for female and 381 for male employees. It shows that
mental health issue are not bad or give any harm to employees if they talk about it or
they experienced it themselves. In conclusion, most of the employees think that mental
health did not give any negative consequences if they discuss about it at the workplace
as it is also a serious issue nowadays.

According to the graph, it shows about the total number of employee that
would bring mental health issue in an interview based on type of person. There
are two type of person which is extrovert and introvert. As for the options, there
are three of them which is maybe, yes and no. Blue represented as maybe, Red
is for no and Grey is for yes.

For extrovert, we can see that 190 of them is maybe, 567 is no and 40 is
yes. As for introvert people, 16 of them is maybe, 433 is no and only one of them
is yes. We can conclude that both sides are the highest for both no. Thus, we
can say that both extrovert and introvert people would disagree on bringing
mental health issue in an interview since it can affect their inner self as well.

6.0 LIMITATION AND RECOMMENDATION

 In general. The federal government should take a strong leadership role

in health care reform and behavioral health, and prioritize
interdepartmental collaboration among federal agencies to increase
effective, efficient services, including promotion of shared outcomes and
shared finances. One example of how it can do this is by convening
health, education, and other stakeholders from the public and private

 Protecting individual rights. The federal government should strengthen

federal laws to protect individual rights in ways that respond to the
abuses of today – including basic standards of care – and provide
adequate funding for oversight and enforcement with a person-centered
process of remediation.

 Repairing the Safety net. The federal government should increase

funding for safety net services so that providers are adequately
reimbursed to keep pace with inflation, and that enough quality providers
are available to serve those that need help;

7.0 CONCLUSION
Workplace mental health program is important to individual and organizational health
and success. The evidence is clear that changes need to be made and that mental
health in the workplace is a real concern. In moving forward with workplace mental
health programs, remember every individual and organization is unique. Find and tailor
programs specifically to the needs of the specific organization, make sure to have
commitment from senior management and to involve employees in the planning and
decision making. Also, make sure to find the baseline, evaluate the program and share
the findings. The time is now to start make positive changes.
