2023 Workforce Mental Health
The world has experienced extraordinary changes over the past few years, and the workplace is no exception. Collective trauma from the pandemic, climate disruptions, political strife, and workplace stress and burnout have brought the link between work and wellbeing into the global spotlight. The issue has gained so much steam that the World Health Organization (WHO) and United States Surgeon General recently issued guidelines on workplace mental health.
“After working through the height of a global pandemic, people are exhausted; and, yet, the world shows no signs of allowing employees to slow down and catch their breath,” said Keren Wasserman, a program manager on Lyra Health’s workforce transformation team, which partners with employers to create more mentally healthy workplaces.
