In the wake of COVID-19, leaders found themselves cast as impromptu mental health counselors, navigating uncharted waters overnight. Now, as discussions surrounding mental wellness continue to gain momentum, particularly with Gen Z placing it at the forefront, the need to address these issues within your team is vital.

Yet, the question persists: How does a leader approach such a sensitive topic without overstepping? Also, is it even the responsibility of leadership to initiate these conversations?

Today’s podcast guest, Andrea Herron, believes it is. Andrea, Vice President of HR at Web MD, is the host of the award-winning HR Scoop podcast and author of “There’s an Elephant in Your Office”, co-written with her sister.

Most importantly, she’s been leading for the past 10 years and is doing her best to address the mental health of her team. Andrea’s here to share her mistakes and how we can all learn from them. 

Listen in for practical ways to support your team's mental health.
