RESEARCH METHOD
This study uses literature research to realize the objectives of this study, literature research is a research method that collects and analyzes information from various written sources to answer research questions or understand a topic (Wijaya et al.
, 2.
Literature research helps researchers to find theories that are relevant to the research problem being studied.
These theories will be the basis for understanding the problem, formulating research questions, and analyzing data.
By reviewing previous research, researchers can identify gaps or areas that have not been studied in depth (Kurdhi et al.
, 2.
This helps researchers to determine the focus of their research and make new contributions to knowledge.
The written sources used in this study certainly come from secondary Secondary data is data that is already available and collected by other parties, not by researchers directly for specific research purposes (Marcella et , 2024.
Pandiangan et al.
, 2.
This data can be in the form of pre-existing reports, records, documents, or publications.
The benefits of using secondary data in research are secondary data has several advantages over primary data, especially in terms of cost and time efficiency.
The main advantages of secondary data are that it is more accessible, cheaper, and saves time in data collection, allowing researchers to focus on data analysis (Sihombing et al.
The secondary data in question are written sources such as books, journals, articles, and research reports.
RESULT AND DISCUSSION

Mental health is a condition of well-being of an individual who is aware of their own abilities.
Mental health is seen in the harmony of words and actions, as well as the ability to face problems that occur, feel happiness positively, and feel the ability within oneself.

Internal factors themselves consist of biological and psychological factors from these biological factors that directly affect mental health are the brain, endocrine system, genetics, sensory, and psychological factors that are directly related to mental health are early experiences, learning processes, and needs.
External factors that affect mental health are socio-cultural, including (Carod-Artal, 2.
Social interaction reveals that the quality of an individual's social interaction greatly affects their mental health.
The family is one of the microsystem environments that determines the personality and mental health of adolescents.
Schools are also one of the environments that influence the development of mental health.
Mental health issues are getting more attention in Indonesia, especially among employees.
Various factors, including social, economic, and past experience pressures, contribute to the high rate of mental health problems among employees.
Although awareness of mental health is increasing, stigma and lack of access to mental health services remain challenges.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), modern lifestyle pressures such as high competition in life, education, work and family demands, the complexity and rhythm of modern life that is fast and instant are one of the 11 causes of mental health disorders.
Approximately 800,000 people commit suicide each year.
Stigma and discrimination against patients and families prevent people from seeking mental health care, leading to abuse, rejection, and isolation from those around them.
Human Resource Planning in Building Employee Commitment Amidst the Challenges of Mental Health Issues Employee mental health is increasingly receiving attention, both from workers and companies.
Clark's theory explains that proper human resource planning will create good mental health, which has a positive impact on building employee commitment and efforts to balance work life with personal life, which can affect employee mental health (Clark, 2.
Employee commitment refers to the level of dedication and emotional attachment that employees have to their organization or workplace (Hasibuan.
This commitment can be measured by various factors, including employees' willingness to work harder, a sense of responsibility towards organizational goals, and a desire to remain part of the company.
Employees who have high commitment tend to be more productive and contribute International Journal of Education.

The purpose of employee commitment is to build a strong emotional connection between employees and the company, leading to increased loyalty and performance.
Committed employees tend to be more productive, innovative, and responsible in their work, which ultimately contributes to the achievement of organizational goals.
Employee commitment has many benefits for both the employees themselves and the company.
Benefits for employees include increased job satisfaction, a sense of belonging, and higher motivation.
For companies, employee commitment contributes to increased productivity, employee retention, and a positive corporate image.
Balancing work life with personal life is called work life balance.
Work life balance is a state of balance between roles in personal life and roles in work, and minimal conflict between the two roles in an individual (Clark, 2.
Work life balance is also a balance of responsibilities and roles between personal life and work that go hand in hand without sacrificing or prioritizing one side of life.
Work life balance is ultimately a tendency to want to be fully involved in every role that an individual has, and to carry out all roles with full care.
CONCLUSION
The results of the study showed that Clark's theory explains that proper human resource planning will create good mental health, which has a positive impact on building employee commitment and efforts to balance work life with personal life, which can affect employee mental health.
