Employee mental health is a huge concern after such a brutal stretch
Recognize the signs
Say the right thing
Be proactive
Be accommodating when possible
It's really positive to see how much mental health has become an important topic of conversation everywhere since Covid started. I think it's so important that workplaces provide mental health resources, not only because of the stress that so many have been under for so long now, but because it's always been the right thing to do. Offering resources for those struggling with mental health issues helps to remove the stigma associated with them. Everyone knows that the more content employees are the better a workplace runs, and the first step to ensuring employees are feeling positively is offering assurances and resources like this. Hopefully this is a bigger start to restructuring how most workplaces treat their employees as a whole.
@delaneyhiggonsiectskin-com I think it is really amazing as well. I think people were kind of forced to sit there and think and face their issues daily. I personally know a lot of people that instead of facing the realities of daily life and responsibilities would just go out and party every night. Instead of coming home from working and sitting down and taking care of their own mental health. Now more people are aware of how difficult mental health can be. I hope it is something that continues to be a thought about and talked about issue.
Years ago no one spoke about mental health. If you did you were labeled crazy or unstable. I love that it is a topic that so many of us can discuss freely. Still things about mental health need to improve as I see and read about people hiding it for certain reasons.
Many issues can be helped if people would talk and be open minded about issues
