The ugly truth: No one likes to talk about mental health. While the stigma about it still hasn’t totally disappeared, people still shy away from mental health for a number of reasons: Shame, worry, and guilt. We became so accustomed to what others might say about us-that we forget about what’s important.

While the stigma and shame of mental health are still on the rise, companies are continuing to see the importance of mental health in the workplace. According to the United Kingdom Department of Health and the Confederation of British Industry, 15-30% of workers will experience a form of mental health during their working lives. In fact, these mental health problems can cause numerous illnesses and disabilities. Albeit mental health problems due to work stress are common, employees experienced increased mental health issues because of the global pandemic.
