Destigmatizing mental health conversations in the workplace: What you need to know now

Employees consistently cite mental health as a top concern these last 15 difficult months, even while things are looking up—the pandemic is receding and workers are returning to the workplace—mental health remains a concern in workplaces everywhere.

Issues around work-related stress and burnout, substance abuse and anxiety have always been there, and workplaces need to address these issues if they want their people performing at peak capacity.

But it’s a very difficult subject for employees in a workplace context. Research indicates a mere 17% of employees are having conversations with managers about mental health and well-being, and only a third of employees feel their employer has taken steps to support their mental health.

Clearly, employers need to do a better job at mitigating workplace stress, burnout, loneliness, depression and other health issues.  

In this context, then, Workplace Wellness Insider is offering a must-attend webinar on this topic this coming Tuesday, June 15.
