Mental health on the job isn't optional, it's essential

Yeah but making it mandatory feels like it could backfire, lol. If someone's already stressed, being forced into a meeting about it just adds another thing to their calendar. I've seen people just say what they think the boss wants to hear so they can get back to work. Real talk, stress doesn't get fixed in a scheduled check-in, it gets fixed by actually fixing the job stuff making people stressed.
