"Mental health and work are closely linked in a significant proportion of the world's working population.1 The recent health crisis caused by COVID-19 has resulted in mental health problems in society as a whole. It is estimated that globally one in two people will develop some episode of mental disorder in their lifetime2 with prevalence in the working population being around 15%.3 Consequently, these estimates pose a challenge for society, health systems, businesses and occupational health professionals. Accordingly, the nature and impact of this reality implies the need to incorporate this health response in the training itinerary of the future occupational health specialist, as well as its inclusion both in research lines and in company health and safety policies. The aim of this article is to reflect on this post-pandemic situation and its influence on people and organisations, to find out the priorities of the institutions involved and to highlight the role of OHN."
