- Creating a supportive workplace culture that normalizes mental health discussions.
- Providing mental health resources.
- Establishing policies that create a healthy and safe work environment.
- Providing training and education for management.
- Establishing a flexible work environment.
- Ensuring employees know their value.
- Evaluating and adapting programs to support employees.
