Proactive Mental Health: The New Office Ergonomics

Description:

Despite the trend of improving benefits for employees, employers are still missing the point. Mental health care needs to be proactively addressed inside the workplace.

Here’s how we do it:
1. First, we reframe mental health around aspirations through our "Tell Me Your Dreams" program.
2. Next, we have mental health professionals on staff who work with every employee to explore, identify, declare & pursue individual dreams that have nothing to do with the company’s interests.
3. Finally, we enjoy the benefits of knowing 100% that our employees believe they are in their dream job or have a job that makes their dreams come true.
As a result, a mentally healthy workforce creates a company culture that motivates employees to care about your company’s dreams as much as their own dreams.
