What responsibility do leaders have in the mental health of their employees? Opinions vary, but one thing is certain—authenticity and vulnerability play an important role. Holly May is a seasoned HR professional with a background in total rewards and business partnering in diversity, equity, and inclusion. She has held CHRO roles at Starbucks, Abercrombie and Fitch, and now at Walgreens Boots Alliance, where she has championed the importance of mental health strategies in the workplace.

In her career, Holly discovered the importance of embracing the whole human after a difficult experience herself. Through her struggle, she realized the power of vulnerability and how it can transform relationships and improve performance. Now she embraces balance and prioritizes being a “whole human” at work.
