A8b The organizations that stand-out in their support of mental health are those where leaders lead by example by encouraging self-care, promoting time off for #mentalhealth and demonstrating it’s okay to talk about MH in the workplace. #MMAChats tinyurl.com/2s4bmu73

A7. According to @Marsh_MMA’s 2023 Benefits Trends Report #Hybrid work has the potential to offer a higher level of flexibility, a better #worklifebalance, and a more tailored #EmployeeExperience. #MMAChats

A7c Employers that cannot offer hybrid work would do well to find opportunities for incorporate flexibility into the workplace such as choosing when to start a shift or offering asynchronous work options. #MMAChats #hybridwork tinyurl.com/yck5jk2n

A7b Hybrid work enhances feelings of control & autonomy which can lead to enhanced overall perception of well-being and work-life balance with positive downstream impact on work productivity and innovation. #MMAChats #hybridwork tinyurl.com/yck5jk2n

A7a Hybrid work opens up opportunities for work to groups that are disadvantaged by the need to be in office such as working parents, people with physical or mental health disabilities & individuals unable to afford housing in near the office. #MMAChats #MentalHealth #hybridwork

A6b: It’s also important for employers to understand that their employees are people with families and lives outside of work. When employers can provide flexibility it creates for a better and more productive work environment. #MMAChats

A5 100%. Research shows a direct correlation. For example @Harvard/@MIT study found positive work relationships increase productivity. Plus, workers are happier, healthier, so they’re less likely to call-out sick, drive up medical costs or quit. workwellbeinginitiative.org/module-4-moder… #MMAChats

@eakboston It has not @eakboston. People are operating at a heightened level since the pandemic and even those back in the office are now juggling how to keep the pace and the commute. #mmachats

A5a Social support is life support. Individuals with strong social networks live longer lives in good health. tinyurl.com/4ujv999y #MMAChats #culture #EmployeeExperience

I like this~ the more that companies support #mentalhealth for their employees on and off the clock, the better the person will be able to initiate work-life balances, support, etc. #MMAchats #futureofwork #mentalhealthmatters

A4c Take a moment to consider what it feels like to feel good and what gets in the way of that at work. Take steps to remove barriers - beginning with addressing basic needs issues that impact one’s ability to focus and engage. tinyurl.com/46bbfvta #MMAChats
