Brazil mental-health and workplace regulation
Overview
In May 2026, Brazil intensified its public-policy focus on mental health by revising Regulatory Standard 1 (NR-1), obligating employers to identify, assess, and control psychosocial risks such as excessive workload and harassment. This shift addresses a surge in mental-health-related absences; in 2025, the national social security system reported 546,254 cases, a 15.66% increase over 2024.
Implementation has faced legal hurdles. On September 24, 2026, Supreme Federal Court (STF) Minister André Mendonça extended the suspension of fines and administrative penalties for another 90 days following challenges by the National Confederation of Educational Establishments (Confenen), which argues that NR-1 contains “open and subjective concepts.” While penalties are suspended, the obligation to manage risks remains in effect.
Compliance remains a significant challenge. A survey by FIA and Flash indicates that 80% of CEOs admit their companies have not fully implemented the required processes. An EXEC consultancy survey identifies leadership training as the primary obstacle, cited by 34.8% of respondents, followed by adapting internal policies (17.4%) and communicating changes to workers (13%).
In early October 2026, the Brazilian Labor Court and the University of Brasília released a ‘Mental Health at Work’ guide to help prevent burnout and emphasize the ‘right to disconnect.’ However, the 2026 Mental Health in Companies Yearbook by Instituto Philos Org indicates a decline in corporate attention to psychological well-being, with its index dropping from 8.19 to 8.02. This occurs despite rising concerns that mental exhaustion compromises cognitive functions and increases workplace accident risks.
