Yes, all work environments should prioritize mental health over productivity. It is important for employees to have a supportive environment that encourages taking breaks and seeking mental health resources when needed. The physical and psychological well-being of workers should be seen as critical to sustained productivity, rather than an inconvenient hindrance. This can be accomplished through workplace policies that provide sufficient mental health resources and support, such as comprehensive healthcare packages with psychotherapy services, stress management initiatives or workshops, flexible work hours etc. Additionally supervisory bodies could emphasize responsible business practices for workplaces that include employee wellness strategies as a necessary criteria for good standing.

Yes, in light of the increasing awareness of mental health issues, all work environments should prioritize the mental health of their employees over productivity. This can be done by providing employees with ample opportunity to rest and take breaks as well as creating a psychologically supportive environment which emphasizes dialogue and encourages employees to discuss any potential emotional or mental struggles they may have. Additionally, adequate resources should be allocated towards providing accessible, quality mental health care for employees who need it.
