Companies can aid in creating a respectful workplace by first acknowledging that mental health issues exist in their employees and should not be ignored. Acknowledgment can be done by having conversations with staff to see what will help them perform and human resources should stand behind these efforts. Another option, as mentioned earlier is utilizing anonymous surveys. Once the results are in and conversations are had, actions such as incorporating flexible work arrangements and short breaks can be implemented (Coduti, Anderson, Lui, Lui, Rosenthal, Hursh, & Young-An R. 2016).
