State officers say extra work is required to handle psychological well being points within the office.
The Michigan Division of Labor and Financial Alternative (LEO) has launched a brand new web site to function a central hub for psychological well being assets (Michigan.gov/WorkplaceMentalHealth).
Sean Egan is the division’s deputy director of labor. He’s main the company’s office psychological well being initiatives.
Egan says the COVID-19 pandemic led to a rise in office stress.
“However on the similar time, we began speaking about it. So the pandemic actually helped us begin speaking that ‘Hey, we’re all struggling as a result of frankly all of us are.’ And proceed to be struggling.”
Egan says 65% of staff say their job is the primary supply of stress of their life.
