Concerned? Check in on coworkers
Stanford Achi with Risk Management warns that in professional environments, depression and anxiety are among the most commonly identified emotional health issues, which, if left unaddressed, can escalate into more severe problems. Treating emotional well-being with the same regard as physical health is crucial. “Just as we don’t fault individuals for falling ill, we should embrace and support those facing emotional health challenges,” said Achi. Checking in with colleagues to express concern demonstrates
respect and consideration for their welfare. Simple acts like listening attentively and showing patience can significantly contribute to making individuals feel valued and supported. Emotional well-being is not only a personal matter but also a concern for families, communities, and society as a whole which includes the City’s organization. It is important to note that our organization provides an Employee Assistance Program for you and your family’s use at any time. Further details can be found at the back of this Newslink.
