Happy Friday and #SmallBusinessWeek! ✨ Small business owners let’s talk about something crucial — mental health at work. Workplace Safety North has just released a Mental Health Guide for Small Businesses to help you support your team and create a positive workplace environment. Why It Matters: Mental health affects everyone. Just like physical health, it fluctuates. Stressors like heavy workloads or lack of support can take a toll on your team’s well-being. Recognize and Manage Stress: This guide helps you spot and tackle issues like burnout or workplace conflict with practical steps. Build a Healthier Workplace: By taking small steps, you can create an environment where everyone feels safe, supported, and valued. It’s not just about improving productivity; it’s about making sure your team thrives —today and every day. View the Mental Health Guide for Small Businesses here: https://lnkd.in/gGW3skHs
