Everyone has mental health and looking after it is so important but the last 12 months has made looking after our mental health more challenging than ever with lockdowns, social restrictions, working from home, and uncertainty around the future. However, the pandemic has also had a positive impact by encouraging more open conversations around mental health and helping to reduce the stigma associated with it.
Having a strong focus on mental health in the workplace is vital as we spend nearly one third of our lives at work. At Chorus, we have taken this time to reflect on what we can do to better support our employees and have launched a new mental health initiative. We want to create an environment where mental health can be openly discussed and supported and there has never been a more important time for this.
