May is Mental Health Month:

With the ongoing effects of the pandemic, the world has witnessed unprecedented levels of stress, anxiety, and fear in the past couple of years. As people continue to struggle with the evolving challenges arising from an altered workplace, prioritizing mental health support in the workplace is more critical than ever.

Let’s take this opportunity to prioritize mental health in the workplace. You can make a difference as HR professionals, managers, and business owners. Searching for solutions to support your employees and navigate mental health concerns? Check out Workright’s Mental Health and Psychological Safety Master Certificate Program, accredited by the Human Resources Professional Association (HRPA). This program teaches you how to prevent, manage, and respond to mental health issues at work.

Prioritizing mental health support in the workplace is essential for employees’ well-being and the organization’s success.

HR professionals, managers, and business owners can prioritize mental health support in the workplace by implementing e-learning programs. These programs are developed by psychologists who understand workplace and life stressors and teach employers how to manage the mental health challenges of employees effectively and compassionately, following approved psychological and legal standards.

The National Standard for Psychological Health and Safety in the Workplace establishes a framework for fostering mental health and preventing psychological harm in the workplace. At Workright, we are committed to helping you meet and exceed these standards.

Moreover, these programs can help break down mental health stigma by promoting open and honest conversations about mental health in the workplace.
