"At one time we may have thought that workplace well-being was separate from personal well-being. But now with digital overload, remote work, and a blurring of lines between work and home, it is a critical area for addressing how we feel about life in general."
"As leaders, the most important role you can play in creating a mentally healthy workforce is to tackle stigma by having conversations in the workplace around mental well-being."
"One of the most powerful things a leader can do to support mental health at work is to name the dysfunction, and actively protect their people from it."
The article emphasizes the importance of mental health in the workplace, revealing that only 25% of U.S. employees believe their organization genuinely cares about their well-being. This lack of care can adversely affect performance, increasing sick days and turnover rates. To improve mental health, experts suggest that leaders openly discuss mental well-being, share personal experiences, and address toxic behaviors within the workplace. By prioritizing these strategies, organizations can create a healthier work environment that ultimately benefits both employees and the bottom line.
