This important topic is the focus of an article in EBN by Mark Brim, Industry Leader, Services at Aquent. While a large majority of employees consider psychological safety crucial, many feel less safe than their managers, leading to negative impacts on productivity and collaboration. To address this, Brim says companies must implement and effectively enforce mental health initiatives. Benefits like mental health apps, financial wellness support, and inclusive Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) can bridge the gap. By adopting these types of policies, Aquent has seen that paying attention to employee mental health is not just good for employees&mdash;it&rsquo;s good for business. Creating a culture of psychological safety enables employees to bring their whole selves to work, fostering both individual and organizational success.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How prioritizing mental health and inclusivity can boost productivity, reduce turnover, and foster a thriving work
