The US Surgeon General released an important report in late 2022 detailing a framework to address workplace mental health and well-being. It's a must read and you can find it HERE.

Why is it so important? Consider that according to recent surveys:

• 76% of U.S. workers reported at least one symptom of a mental health condition (anxiety, depression), an increase of 17 percentage points in just two years (2019-2021).
• 81% of workers reported that they will be looking for workplaces that support mental health in the future.
• 84% of respondents reported at least one workplace factor that had a negative impact on their mental health.

In the report, Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy details the five key areas below "to help organizations develop, institutionalize, and update policies, processes, and practices that best support the mental health and well-being of all workers."
