Abstract

Introduction. The intense work of Ukrainian organizations, as a result their complex activities, increased competition, socio-economic crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic, commands organizations' close attention to the mental health of their staff. This requires, in particular, the study of foreign approaches to solving this problem, one of which is the concept of «healthy organizations». Aim. Based on the analysis of relevant foreign literature, to determine the essence of «healthy organizations» and their main ways and methods of promoting staff's mental health. Results. Having analyzed the relevant foreign literature, the author determines the aims of «healthy organizations» and their main activities to promote staff's mental health (choosing staff's positive mental health as an organization’s priority and value; formation of the culture of «openness» to discuss mental health problems in the organization; respect for all groups of workers, including those with mental problems, etc.). The methods of «healthy organizations» to promote staff's mental health include, in part, different types of interventions at different organizational management levels (individual, group, organizational, inter-organizational). The author emphasizes the importance of multilevel interventions. Conclusions. The introduction of the concept of «healthy organizations» in Ukrainian organizations, given the peculiarities of their functioning in the socio-economic and organizational conditions, can help maintain and improve staff's mental health.
