A recent trend among hip and psychologically sophisticated business leaders is the idea of mental health in the workplace. This trend, which primarily started in Silicon Valley among tech companies and start-ups, has rippled into businesses in Seattle and NYC and is starting to gain traction in the Portland area. So, what does it mean to have mental health in the workplace?

• High functioning teams, starting with the leadership team
• Psychologically healthy leadership (I will address this in more detail in future posts)
• Effective communication and conflict resolution processes
• Clearly-defined organizational values (as opposed to an
  "accidental culture")
• Effective, psychologically healthy middle managers
• Psychological safety among employees
• Growth mindset
• Employees who feel relevant and valued
• An environment that promotes work-life balance
• An environment that has the commitment and resources to address interpersonal challenges on-site versus simply terminating people or sending them off for external coaching exclusively
