“This book may not be able to eradicate the silence surrounding mental health at work entirely (no individual or book could do that). But what it can do is empower you, as an individual, regardless of your position within a company, to further the discussion about mental health and contribute to a positive, non-judgmental environment in your workplace. This isn’t a book about boosting employee engagement or productivity. It’s not a book about how employee wellbeing is tied to profits. The link between mental health and those concepts is already widely proven and not my focus here. Instead, I want to teach you how to shift the workplace cultural fabric around mental health at work through compassionate and constructive conversations. This book will show you the deeper why, and the how.”
