Revive has been on a mission to tackle the mental health crisis that continues to plague our communities.
As business and community leaders, we all have a role to play in supporting our employees’ mental health and well-being, especially in light of the pandemic and its impact on mental health. Workplace burnout is a significant concern, and it’s time for leaders to take action. Burnout leads to disengagement, decreased productivity and ultimately loss of revenue.
So, what can we do to combat burnout and support mental health in the workplace?
Here are a few key lessons and strategies that we’ve learned:
- Encourage work-life balance: Encouraging employees to take time off and unplug from work is essential for preventing burnout.
- Provide mental health resources: Offering mental health resources such as therapy or employee assistance programs can help employees deal with stress and improve their mental well-being.
- Lead by example: Leaders who prioritize self-care and promote a healthy work-life balance set the tone for their team to do the same.
- Foster a supportive culture: Creating a supportive workplace culture where employees feel comfortable sharing their mental health challenges can help reduce the stigma around mental health.
