Host regular check-in meetings.
Since mental wellness can quickly change, it is important to regularly check-in with your employees. After hosting a companywide meeting, Kara Lissy, clinical coordinator and psychotherapist at A Good Place Therapy, recommends that each department manager schedule one-on-one meetings with their team members. Here, the manager can discuss any follow-up questions the employee may have and review the company’s mental health benefits in more detail.
