Mental health is an important topic in the workplace, and it can be a challenge for many businesses to ensure their working practices support the wellbeing of their staff, especially in remote and hybrid roles.
In order to enable workspaces to better understand how employees are feeling, we researched the biggest challenges that employees have with their mental health at work. Using this information we then designed eight custom Slack emojis for staff and managers to use, adding visibility to unseen mental health issues online.
As with any business, it is important that these initiatives come from the top. Senior managers and owners should encourage a culture of transparency where employees feel comfortable communicating their mental health without stigma.
These emojis are not a fix-all and should be used in tandem with other mental health initiatives to help fully support employees in the workplace.
Protecting our mental health is vitally important, especially in the workplace. We communicate to our bosses when we are physically unwell, but issues like anxiety and depression aren’t approached in the same way.
With virtual platforms like Slack now the norm for office communications, it can be difficult to spot when someone is struggling. To help employees communicate their mental health status at work, we have created eight new emojis specifically designed to be easily identifiable.
