#worldmentalhealthday reminds us that mental health struggles come in many forms, and just because someone seems to be "high functioning" doesn't mean they aren’t struggling. It’s easy to assume that people who perform well at work, maintain social relationships, and generally keep things together must be fine. However, many high-functioning individuals mask their pain, making it harder for others—and sometimes themselves—to recognize when they need help. With everything going on in the world, we all must be cognizant of the fact that more people are struggling - and struggling in a variety of ways. And the more we know, the better we can help each other.

Leadership comes with a lot of things - loneliness being one of them. Many managers silently face this challenge, even as they guide teams and make critical decisions. If you are experiencing loneliness in your role, we encourage you to speak to someone within your company to get help, and also understand that you're not alone. Unfortunately, it is incredibly common. #humanresources #talentacquisition

Although the summer is over, this information applies year round. The information highlights the pervasive pressure on employees to stay connected even while on vacation, revealing a broader issue in workplace culture. Employers may inadvertently contribute to this by valuing constant availability, which subtly implies that time off isn’t fully respected or even realistic. For many, this culture of being always "on" is normalized. The differences in how men and women experience time off—where men feel compelled to check in more frequently, while women wrestle with guilt—underscore that the problem is less about gender and more about how workplace expectations erode the purpose of vacation time. This speaks to a lack of psychological safety, where employees fear potential repercussions for being truly offline. The cultural contrast between the U.S. and countries like France, where time off is treated as a right, emphasizes how American work culture treats the refusal to fully disconnect as a symbol of dedication—often at the expense of well-being. For organizations, this signals a need to actively encourage and normalize true time off, both as a tool for mental health and as a strategy for enhancing productivity. Leadership should model this behavior, setting clear boundaries that employees are expected to unplug and recharge without guilt. Real rest isn’t just a perk but a necessary component of sustained high performance. This perspective challenges employers to rethink how they communicate the importance of rest and redefine the cultural norms around taking time off. #timeoff #PTO #vacation https://lnkd.in/dTZdkUkA
