Encourage Taking Breaks

Tell Your Team They Matter  

Feeling significant is a crucial ingredient for mental health. An action you can take right now to improve others' well-being is to ensure people know how they matter to you. Ask your people: "When do you feel like you matter here?" Ask yourself: "Do I make sure people around me feel noticed, affirmed, and needed every day? What practices do I enact to ensure the repeated experience of mattering? Committing to noticing, affirming, and showing people how they're needed is something you can start today and it can have an incredible effect on your organization and on people's lives.
