Set stricter guidelines for working and emailing after hours, and reassess scheduling accommodations as well as time-off policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-phase-2-beef-up-resources\">Phase 2: Beef Up Resources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Partner with mental health services<\/strong> to provide affordable, accessible resources to employees, such as self-care workshops and professional mental-health screenings.

The pandemic has benefited society by making mental health more visible and more of a priority. To take advantage of this benefit, companies\u2019 attention and effort can\u2019t wane, even when public spaces reopen and it appears that we\u2019ve settled into a new normal (whatever that is).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And for employers who heed this call during the pandemic and prioritize mental health as part of <em>their company\u2019s <\/em>new normal, the benefits will be worth the effort. <strong>Research reveals workers who feel their employers support their overall well-being have greater company loyalty<\/strong>.
