- Access to Resources: Provide access to mental health professionals and resources like Employee Assistance Programs.
- Mindfulness Practices: Integrate mindfulness and well-being initiatives into the work environment.
Let's build a tech industry where everyone feels empowered to prioritize their mental well-being.
