What are some key strategies for organizations to identify and address early signs of mental health issues among employees? Share your insights and experiences on implementing proactive measures.
John Berry: Distance and disengagement among employees is a key symptom of declining mental health. When noticed, it’s imperative to get ahead of the issue and talk to your employees who might be struggling. A lot of times people simply don’t have the support or resources they need to sustain their mental health, and it’s important that they know they can find that within from their employers.
How can companies create a supportive environment for employees to openly discuss mental health and seek help when needed? Share examples of successful communication and resources that have made a difference in your organization.
John Berry: Your employees spend a significant amount of their life at work, and it’s important for business owners, leaders and managers to prioritize employee mental health. Prioritizing workplace wellness can look like stipends for things like therapy, giving additional mental health days to employees, or having an internal counselor prepared to support team members in need.
Poor mental health in the workplace will have a negative impact on business operations, and it is mutually beneficial for businesses to promote a healthy work-life balance, regularly check in on their employees, and offer support to the employees who may be struggling.
What role can training and education play in fostering mental health awareness in the workplace? Share your experience with impactful workshops, seminars, or training programs that have contributed to a better understanding and support of mental health among employees.
