Content moderators, like journalists or police officers, are prone to secondary traumatic stress (also called vicarious trauma), brought on by frequent exposure to disturbing images and information. As pioneers in mental health safeguards within the content moderation industry, WebPurify is here to talk about best practices for moderator wellbeing this #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek2024 🧠 Even the best-prepared and seemingly most resilient moderators often find there's no such thing as too many resources or training, especially if a project involves particularly upsetting imagery. 👀 Some key takeaways: 👉🏽 Artificial intelligence plays a role in protecting human staff, but solid leadership decisions that prioritize employee mental health are the gold standard. 👉🏽 A proactive approach to mental wellbeing, rather than relying on self-identification of mental health problems and passive therapy, supports more staff more successfully—despite being an added cost of doing business. 👉🏽 Equipping teams with tools to deal with upsetting content is necessary—but attention to team-building and cultivating a sense of purpose is the main reason moderators stay at a company and perform well.

[#WorldMentalHealthDay] In the fast-paced world of technology, it is easy to get caught up in the hustle either by pushing deadlines, innovating, and delivering results. But in this rush, mental health often takes a backseat. This year's theme is a reminder that mental well-being is essential for a productive and healthy workforce. A balanced mind fuels creativity, problem-solving, and collaboration, driving us toward success as individuals and as a team. Let’s take today to reflect: How can we better support each other in the workplace? Let’s create a space where mental health is prioritized just as much as innovation. #Doftwerks #TechConsulting #Tech #TechInnovation #MentalHealthMatters
