Employers must develop supportive and emotionally intelligent managers
To be empowered, employees must be able to provide feedback to their manager as well as negotiate their titles, roles, responsibilities, salaries and workload. This requires mental health training that addresses the roles of both the employer and the manager in promoting positive workplace mental health. Managers should be educated about the explicit procedures or supports available to employees. They should know how to spot signs of increased stress in members of their team and encourage them to take time off as needed to avoid burnout.
