Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu has highlighted the growing concerns of stress and fatigue among airline employees and called on the aviation sector to prioritize the mental health and well-being of their workforce. Speaking at a recent event, Naidu stressed the critical role that human factors, such as employee wellness, play in ensuring operational safety. He urged airlines to implement strategies and support programs aimed at reducing stress, which has been linked to safety risks and accidents. As the aviation industry continues to expand, addressing these concerns has become vital to maintaining efficiency and safety. Naidu emphasized the need for incorporating formal aviation psychology programs to better equip employees in handling stress and fatigue. Such initiatives would not only improve the work environment but also reduce risks in day-to-day operations. Airlines were also encouraged to introduce continuous training programs to help employees develop coping mechanisms and ensure that the workforce remains resilient. The call to action came in response to the growing recognition of human factors in aviation safety and the need for a comprehensive approach to employee well-being as a preventive measure. Airlines are expected to take proactive steps to create more supportive environments for their staff, ensuring that safety is not compromised due to overwork or mental strain.
