And meanwhile, I’m starting to see an increase in posts from colleagues of people who are committing suicide. Executives, we have a problem…posting on LinkedIn to be your own advocate as a leader of a large consulting company is tone deaf. Do better! 🤦🏾♀️
Can you be more specific on what more you would have expected? Would you have wanted to see the exec also list of company benefits/processes that are currently provided to employees in the post? (Eg EAP, discounted or free mental wellness app membership, etc)? Truly curious.
Businesses have come really far in just a few decades. Employee assistance programs, health savings accounts, anonymous reporting tools, and a 180 turnaround on the stigma of therapy and mental illness, normalization of psych meds - all in a relatively short period of time - is great.
At what point do we we starting to confuse normal human emotion with mental health? It’s increasingly difficult to assign hard tasks, have tough conversations, motivate staff, and even reward some employees for fear of being accused of facilitating a toxic workplace by those who weren’t rewarded.
How much more can we do to protect employees from feeling anger, frustration, fear, or embarrassment at work from time to time? All humans experience all of these emotions at times. And when we work to remove the worst triggers, (boss yelled at me) another level of triggers will emerge (boss looked at me funny), and another (boss told me to come to work today).
At some point I do feel we need to hire employees who hold themselves accountable for their own mental health and reintroduce resilience as a positive trait. And look to their managers as leaders and supervisors - not as parents or therapists.
