Mental Health in the Aviation & Transport Industry
With various pressure associated with the industry, such as long schedules and personal stressors, working in the aviation and transport industry can be particularly challenging, and have a significant impact on an individual's mental wellbeing.
Unique Daily Challenges Require Specialist Support
The environment in which people in this sector work is physiologically and mentally challenging. From frequently changing schedules, long hours, uncomfortable working conditions, jetlag, and the requirement of multiple high-pressure decisions, it can become mentally taxing. There are also personal stressors including missing out on family events and the inability to maintain relationships due to the demands of work.
Some of the most common causes of mental health complications in the aviation and transport industry include:
Stress and fatigue
Isolation
Work environment
Pressure and performance expectations
Health and lifestyle factors
However, Red Umbrella has developed solutions to protect the wellbeing of pilots and transport professionals. From training up the workforce on mental health, including providing Mental Health First Aid training, to assisting with the implementation of Employee Assistance Programmes, there are positive steps we can take to improve the wellbeing of those working in this industry.
