Inside Turnitin: Supporting Mental Health Awareness Month
As we recognize Mental Health Awareness Month, I'm reminded of the delicate ‘balance’ between striving for high performance and nurturing our well-being. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), "globally, an estimated 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety at a cost of US$ 1 trillion per year in lost productivity." This staggering statistic underscores the urgent need for leaders to become more knowledgeable about mental health impacts in the workplace.
At Turnitin, we understand that a healthy mind is just as crucial as a healthy body, and that's why we're proud to recognize Mental Health Awareness Month this May. We believe that creating a supportive environment for mental health not only benefits individuals but also enhances team dynamics and overall productivity.
In this post, I want to share Turnitin’s commitment to prioritizing mental health in the workplace and offer insights into how we achieve this. From personal accountability to supporting our teammates, I’ll explore practical tips and initiatives that anyone can implement to promote well-being in their own lives and workplaces. So, let's dive in and discover how we're making mental health a priority at Turnitin.
