More PTO and better benefits: How 8 HR leaders are supporting mental health needs

“Consider how organizations can help support — and ultimately improve — the mental health of employees, customers and their families by creating an environment which reduces the stigma around mental health challenges. Look, listen and act. Look for the issues employees are experiencing by executing an anonymous poll. Listen to the leaders in your organization closest to these issues by bringing HR to the executive table for more informed decision-making. Finally, show support through actions, like expert-led online education tools, flexible working hours, or any number of plans and policies to show employees that supporting them is a top priority.”

-Michael Held, CEO of Lifespeak
