The global pandemic has underscored the critical importance of enhancing our psychological health, wellness and resilience – as individuals, and as organizations. Statistics don’t lie – in 2017, the World Health Organization identified mental health issues as being the leading cause of global disability. Since March 2020, we have witnessed increased rates of alcohol use, rates of depression have doubled, and rates of anxiety have quadrupled. Now, more than ever, we have a critical imperative to take action. Senior executive leadership has a critical role in supporting their organizations, and all people leaders, to take evidence-based, actionable steps that can be taken to enhance the psychological health and safety of their work environments.
