In conversation with Oracle’s Shaakun Khanna: Usage of tech to manage employees’ mental health, HR functions

Talking about your mental health can be difficult and uncomfortable. And when it comes to sharing about workplace stress and anxiety, it becomes even more challenging. Regardless of the hurdles, people suffering from mental health should not be discouraged, and there has to be a setup that is convenient for the affected ones. While the traditional mechanisms have been around for quite some time, workplaces and others should also look at the use of technology to help mental health issues.

A recent Oracle AI@work study reveals 82% of people believe robots can support their mental health better than humans and 68% would prefer to talk to a robot over their manager about stress and anxiety at work.
