how's is an employee's mental health viewed in bigger tech companies? i know taking mental health days is a pretty new concept for agencies (and honestly, i don't know if anyone actually does given the culture) so i'm curious to hear if mental health is taken more seriously/with more empathy on the brand side

I worked for a company that had therapists in the office 4 days a week. One of them helped me save my marriage.

This was back in 2016/17.

A few years later they had “mindfulness” rooms and the CEO sometimes did meditations at sales kickoff.

Monks from Plum Village, Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach and others were regular guests at the annual user conference as well as in house events.

This was not a small company.

My current company (also a SaaS company) doesn’t have the resources to do all that, but has a good EAP system and one of the best exec coaching groups in the world that is accessible to almost all employees.

I told my creative group they could have a mindfulness day anytime they needed—taking my own as needed.
