May is Mental Health Awareness Month
Lead Well:
Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental illness. The National Alliance for Mental Illness (NAMI) provides support to those who need it. Use this content to educate, inspire and lead well by sharing it with colleagues, employees, and customers in any format that works for you.
Tools to Inspire
In our 2023 Employee Wellness Survey, 16% of respondents said that work “Somewhat negatively or very negatively contributes to their negative emotional health”. The good news is that this number has improved over the previous year’s result (23%).
Creating a workplace that is supportive and focused on the unique needs of your team is critical, and requires dedication, aligned leadership and intention.
