Discover 5 Proven Strategies to Prioritize Mental Health in the PR Industry

In the fast-paced world of PR, where creativity is king and our minds are our most valuable asset, we often forget about the well-being of our "control center" - our mental health. PR faces one of the highest turnover rates, but there's a solution. In this article, we'll explore five practical steps for employers to build a nurturing and inclusive workplace.

1. Empathetic Leadership

Encourage managers to lead with empathy, support their teams' mental health, and reduce turnover through training programs.

2. Flexible Work

Give employees the freedom to choose how, when, and where they work, rather than mandating strict office rules. At JC&CO, we offer the Full-Flex program, which allows all teams the flexibility to choose their work environment, whether it's at home, in the office, or at a café.

3. Know Your Workforce

Understand the unique needs of your employees, especially the digitally-savvy Gen Z, by prioritizing mental health support in your company culture.

4. Listen and Act

Engage employees through surveys and town hall meetings, and then make real changes based on their feedback.

5. Invest in Digital Mental Health

Digital tools for mental health can yield substantial returns. Consider investing in solutions like Ooca, a Start-up health tech platform, to provide 24/7 support and skill-based learning for your team.

Don't wait - 2024 is the year to prioritize mental health and empower your PR team for success.

The "Future of Work" is now, and the year 2024 is the ideal time to reassess employees' needs, re-engage teams, and rejuvenate their mental and lifestyle health, empowering them to be resilient.
