Hi everyone,
As we step into Mental Health Awareness Month, it’s crucial we take a stance to identify and resolve signs of stress in the workplace together.
First, mental health illness is common – 1 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year, and 1 in 25 Americans live with a serious mental illness. Feelings of anger, anxiety, or depression, a lack of motivation or confidence, persistent fatigue, difficulty concentrating, and even insomnia, indigestion, and headaches can be signs of burnout or undiagnosed mental illness.
Everyone’s needs for optimal mental well-being differ. We recognize your mental health is a private matter, but the door is always open to discuss your concerns and needs with full confidentiality. Our goal is to empower you to feel and work your best.
Here are a few ways to take control of your mental well-being:
- Confirm you and your manager are aligned on your goals
- Let your manager know what you need to be successful in your work
- Reflect on stressors and reframe them as opportunities to grow
- Identify your micro-stressors
- Set clear boundaries
- Take time off
It’s also important to use the resources available to you.

How to reduce stress and prevent burnout at work
Approximately 48 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from anxiety, 21 million from depression, and 15 million from seasonal affective disorder. While numbers vary worldwide, on a global average, 58% of people think about their mental well-being often with 63% saying they have felt stressed to the point it had an impact on their daily lives over the last year. Yet only 50% of life-threatening mental health disorders are diagnosed before adolescence, meaning many adults are left to sort out their mental well-being themselves.
Mental well-being is often pushed to the back burner due to the stigma that concerns about mental health could make an employee appear unfit for their role. It’s critical workers recognize their wellness, mentally and physically, is important to leaders in their organization, and that their needs will be met with support and understanding.
Here are a few ways to encourage employees to reduce stress and prevent burnout:
- Confirm goals are aligned between employees and managers
- Employees should let their manager know what they need to be successful in their role
- They should also reflect on stressors and reframe them as opportunities to grow
- Help employees identify micro-stressors
- Encourage employees to set clear boundaries
- Empower employees to take time off
