Creating a Healthy Workplace, Polibatam Highlights the Importance of Emotional Management

BATAM — Politeknik Negeri Batam (Polibatam) organised an Emotional in Workspace programme on Monday, 12 October 2026, as part of its efforts to strengthen the academic community’s understanding of mental health and emotional intelligence in the workplace. The programme featured psychologist Melly Puspita, S.Psi., as the keynote speaker.

The programme was officially opened by Polibatam’s Vice Director II, Arniati, S.E., M.Si., Ph.D., Ak., CA., CPA. In her remarks, Arniati emphasised that the ability to manage emotions plays an essential role in creating a healthy, productive, and supportive workplace.

“Through this programme, we hope that all participants will gain a deeper understanding of the importance of recognising and managing emotions effectively. This understanding is valuable not only in carrying out professional responsibilities but also in building positive relationships with colleagues and family members,” Arniati said.

During her presentation, Melly explained that emotional management is more than a professional skill for maintaining productivity. It also serves as a foundation for building harmonious social interactions. Effective emotional management can foster a supportive workplace ecosystem while minimising potential conflict within the institution.

Melly also encouraged participants to understand their emotions, identify sources of pressure, and develop healthier responses when facing different situations in the workplace. This understanding is expected to help participants maintain effective communication, develop empathy, and resolve challenges more constructively.

The knowledge and insights gained through the programme are expected to create a lasting positive impact. Their benefits can be applied not only on campus and in the workplace but also in family life, including when supporting children’s growth and development.

Through the Emotional in Workspace programme, Polibatam continues to promote a healthy, supportive, and well-being-oriented work environment. Members of the academic community are encouraged to apply emotional regulation in carrying out their responsibilities and building positive relationships in their daily lives.
