- Training managers to support employees’ mental health
- Increasing employees’ options for where, when and how they work
- Re-examining organizational health insurance policies with a focus on mental health
- Listening to what employees need and using their feedback to improve and evolve the workplace culture
- Taking a critical look at organizational policies through a lens of diversity, equity and inclusion
