YOUR TEAM'S MENTAL WELL-BEING
Mental health in the workplace is one of the top concerns on employers' minds. Since the pandemic began, HR leaders and business owners have been exploring new strategies to create a happier, healthier workforce. Many companies have made it their mission to make mental health a top priority, engraining it deep in their culture. As examples, companies have: *
Pooled all online mental-health resources into one easy-to-access portal.
Rolled out monthly videos/webinars or podcasts on mental health. Even having employees volunteer to share their own struggles and what resources have worked for them.
Extended the eligibility for their Employee Assistance Program.
Removed the mental-health benefits spend maximum.
Implemented mental-health training sessions for leaders.
Air Canada is even opening 5 gyms on the company property. Although this example far exceeds what most companies can do, it shows the investment that larger companies are putting into mental well-being and overall health. Looking at the other examples above, you can see that a few small changes, combined with keeping mental health in the forefront of your company culture, can go a long way.
