Are you creating a healthy work environment for your employees?
Mental health is a crucial topic, and countless studies show that work plays a significant role in most people’s mental health. So, what are you doing to make sure that your team members experience a positive, healthy environment at work? Here are some places to start:
- Perspective: Are your employees truly comfortable at work, or just hiding friction from you for fear of retaliation? 😨
- Accountability: Everyone should be on the same page about expectations, KPIs, and performance evaluations. 📋
- Empathy: Your employees are humans who deserve compassion in every situation. 🤗
- Communication: Open, honest conversations (even difficult ones) help your employees feel valued and secure. 🤝
It’s almost Mental Health Awareness Month, so now’s the perfect time to evaluate the work environment you’re creating in your business.
