The concept of mental well-being at the workplace should not be taken lightly. Since mental well-being plays a key role in developing one's potential and enhancing his or her performance, it is the responsibility of employers to promote employees' mental well-being to retain more talent while increasing productivity and innovation among their workforce.

No one in my family or anyone we knew, however, ever mentioned allergies. Babies were reared with a taste of everything, even when they spat it out.
