Life Fatigue: Tools and Resources for Employers to Share with Employees
Employees in every industry are experiencing what we’re calling “life fatigue”, a general sense of disconnection ranging from aimlessness to depression, resulting from the myriad of challenges they are facing in society, from pandemic effects and inflation to global instability.
As an employer, your employees are looking to you now more than ever to have their backs. They want to know that they can count on you for not only a sense of connection, but for access to the tools and resources that can help them face life’s difficulties on a holistic level.
“If companies focus on connecting their workforce to loving their business and loving their culture, they can both win the war for talent and help people with their fatigue and their resiliency.”
M3 has compiled tools and resources below that employers can provide to employees to help them navigate their challenges, from mental health, anxiety, and depression, to caregiver stress and financial hardship.
