As election season approaches, we are reminded of the heightened emotions and challenges this time can bring, especially in the workplace. Many employers have shared concerns about the impact of election-related stress on the mental health and well-being of their employees, and we know these conversations are happening in break rooms and beyond. In addition, with the holidays on the horizon, this season can bring an extra layer of stress to many.
CentraCare Occupational Health is committed to supporting our employer partners and their teams through this period. We have collaborated with our behavioral health partners, including PrairieCare, to create a set of tools and resources designed to help employers manage workplace stress, foster positive communication, and provide support to their workforce. The link below include tips on handling political discussions at work, promoting respectful conversations, and helping employees navigate the emotional challenges that often accompany both the election and the holiday season.
