The Mental Health in the Workplace Webinar
Whatever your working situation might be, there has traditionally not been enough time or energy devoted to protecting the mental health of American workers. From employers on down, mental health has been an afterthought. On May 19, 2022, Verywell Mind hosted a free webinar to shed more light on these issues.
Why Now?
After two years of working through a pandemic, many Americans have learned to think about their mental health in new ways, both in and out of the workplace. Businesses, meanwhile, are learning to adapt and build more supportive environments for the individuals who spend so many of their waking hours at work.
Companies that fail to adapt to this new reality may feel the effects of what has been dubbedThe Great Resignation, as workers leave for better pay, better benefits, and more flexible schedules.
Still, even with more attention paid to mental health overall,job stressremains high. Even as COVID anxiety and related stressors waned in the latter half of 2021, Americans remainedas worried as everabout their finances.
Whether workers need more money, more flexibility, more time off, or all over the above, they are hungry to upend the status quo that has us stressing about work 24/7/365. But even those who acknowledge the importance of mental health oftendon’t know how to get startedwith strategies that might help their emotional well-being. The goal of this webinar is to arm bosses and employees alike with the tools needed to help understand and cope with mental health issues in the workplace.
