Mental health is rarely spoken about in the workplace. Even in places where management may understand the impact of psychological well-being, when mental health is brought up, it’s usually in a negative judgment. However, we know that people are worried, stressed, and anxious, and when these are all hidden under the facade of competence, this can lead to burnout, exhaustion, outbursts and seemingly unexplainable behavior.

Being able to manage emotions is a key component to a well-run, productive, and supportive work environment. With the understanding that the norm is for everyone to experience stress and worry, businesses are referencing Dr. Z’s newest book, Escaping the Emotional Rollercoaster for direction on how management and employees alike can learn to manage their emotional experience. The book helps readers to keep their emotions in check, receive feedback effectively, and align their personal values and the company values, leading to a thriving business.
