4 Ways To Create an Inclusive Workplace for Mental Health
Twelve-billion working days. That’s the estimated hours of productivity lost due to mental health issues rooted in depression and anxiety per year globally. Destigmatizing mental health at work isn’t just about building rapport and workplace culture. Learning to support your teammates' mental health offers leadership a more holistic understanding of the team, how to best manage and motivate, as well as creates touchpoints of genuine support. By fostering spaces for team members to be curious and open with each other, we increase our opportunities to treat mental health proactively, connecting peers to services, providing accommodations and reducing fear and stigma.
