What is mending?

While mending itself means ‘to repair’, the idea for mending comes from the Japanese concept of Kintsugi, meaning golden repair.  Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver or platinum.Apply this concept to work or any area of our life and it is this: when you mend something, you are repairing it for reuse, much like we do with ourselves. That is what this series is about too - Mending, by Plum. These are honest conversations around workplace mental health that can resonate with anyone who works. More so, for CHROs and Founders who are building teams.  This is an exclusive series of conversations from Humanise, Plum’s digital media collective,  between Saurabh Arora, Cofounder of Plum and Tanmoy Goswami, Creator, Sanity by Tanmoy, an independent platform on the politics, economics and culture of mental health.
