Mental health is inextricably linked to one’s sense of identity, belonging, and self worth. Investing in workplace mental health runs parallel with an effective DEIB strategy because they are both rooted in a company's understanding of systems within the organization that impact an employee's ability to thrive – and the company’s willingness to fix those systems by providing resources and partnering with employees to change internal factors.
