POST SUMMIT HIGHLIGHTS
Helpful takeaways from the United at Work Summit as a reminder of why supporting your employees in the area of Mental Health is so important to your business:
- Having access to an outside mental health professional for a corporate environment is extremely helpful, and sometimes vital to appropriately support staff.
- There were helpful tips on relating to employees when going through stressful situations.
- Ways to support women leaders and moms in the workplace. Ways to recognize folks in distress.
- Actual action items we can implement on a small/$0 budget. We have already started some of these at our organization and are so excited to keep going!
- The keynote speaker was really good. I am going to use his way of asking people how they are by having them rate it on a scale of 1 to 10.
- I am going to be more intentional about asking how my teammates are doing. And remembering to follow up after when they share about personal matters. The breathing exercises were great too!
