Description

The US Surgeon General released a 30-page framework for mental health and well-being that offers a foundation that workplaces can build to foster a workplace culture of worker voice and equity. This framework is based on five “essentials” (protection from harm, connection & community, work/life harmony, mattering at work, and opportunities for growth). Beyond the lens of wellness these “essentials” align to a blueprint for leadership development to strengthen individual and organizational wellness.
