“At Introspexion, we believe that addressing mental health is not just a moral imperative but a
business one as well. The energy industry cannot afford to overlook the well-being of its people,
especially in its current climate. By investing in mental health support, companies can reduce
absenteeism, improve productivity and build a more engaged and motivated workforce.”


“As someone who has spent time offshore, I have seen firsthand the unique challenges that the energy
sector personnel face. Long hours, isolation and the pressure to perform in high-risk environments can
take a toll on mental health” says Shabnum, Managing Director of IntrospeXion.”


The current demand for support is overwhelming and it is clear that more needs to be done.
