One way to do this is to poll your employees about whether they’d be interested in regular check-ins, and to ask how often they’d like them one employee may welcome a weekly meeting while another may find it to be too much to deal with.
If mental health benefits aren’t included in your employees’ health packages, and there’s no feasible way in the near future to improve them, you can contact local providers-like fitness experts, counseling centers, and massage therapists-to set up an employee discount program. While the ACA requires insurance plans to offer at least the minimum mental health coverage, what your specific company offers will vary, and your company may be able to provide them at a corporate discount even if your insurer won't cover them. If your plan leaves much to be desired in the realm of mental health, it’s worth inquiring with relevant departments in your company to see what you can do to improve your employees’ benefits. However, if your company already offers significant mental health coverage, remember to encourage your employees to use it while making it clear they would not be judged or stigmatized if they do so. The amount of power you have over this, of course, heavily depends on your position. “The best thing an employer can do proactively to accommodate employees’ mental health needs is to provide a health care plan that includes mental health services, such as counseling or therapy,” she says. Susan Warner, an employment attorney at New York City law firm Nelson Mullins, tells SELF this is the biggest way employers can make an impact in their office. Provide (or advocate for) mental health resources at your company.
