  • 33. Mental Health in the Workplace
    Oct 25 2024

    In this episode, we address the growing importance of mental health at work, especially in the wake of rising post-pandemic stress. Join us as we explore three key areas where leaders can make a difference:

    1. The Rising Tide of Workplace Stress (3:05 – 5:42)
      • Workplace stress is surging, with 41% of employees at peak levels. Relational conflicts compound stresses, making emotional well-being a top priority.
    2. Emotional Well-being as the Foundation (5:42 – 16:14)
      • Emotional well-being underpins mental health. Disengagement often signals poor mental health, stemming from disconnection with colleagues or managers.
    3. The Power of Secure Relationships (19:24 – 31:51)
      • Secure relationships are essential for well-being and productivity. Leaders can foster trust, open communication, and emotional safety to create a supportive work environment.

    Conclusion: Mental health isn’t just about programs—it’s about building strong connections. By prioritizing emotional safety, leaders create workplaces where trust, engagement, and success thrive.

    The Leader in You is the go-to podcast for anyone who wants to create a workplace culture where you can thrive.

    Envision a future where you are more grounded, confident, and in sync with your team.
