With increased awareness on mental health and the rise in reported mental health conditions, business leaders recognize the need to incorporate mental health education, programs and policy at the workplace. The health and work productivity of the employee, the health of the work culture and the success of the company requires understanding and conversations about mental health and trauma, and policies that support diversity, inclusivity and equality.
