-* Carlota:+* Carlota: I chose the EPS program because, after finishing my individual final degree project, I really wanted a new experience that focused more on teamwork.

-Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and chronic stress are the biggest concerns in modern society and workplaces. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) about 15% of working age adults experience a mental health disorder once in their life. This can occur from high workloads, lack of control or  poor support. These mental health issues are not only a personal problem, they also have a high impact on the economy and productivity of companies. WHO estimates that only from depression and anxiety there is a loss of 12 billion working days annually, which is equal to about USD 1 trillion each year due to loss of productivity. In addition poor mental health results in increased absenteeism, difficulties with decision‑making and higher turnover rates. +Mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and chronic stress are the biggest concerns in modern society and workplaces.

 Research shows that even very short breaks during the workday can have a meaningful impact on employees’ well-being and energy levels. These so-called microbreaks are brief, voluntary pauses from work activities. A study by Kim, Cho, and Park (2022) found that employees who took short breaks throughout the day were better able to manage their energy and stay engaged with their work, particularly on days when they already felt tired [(Kim2022)]. Research shows that even very short breaks during the workday can have a meaningful impact on employees’ well-being and energy levels.
