How has your workplace stepped up its mental health game since the pandemic?

With all this talk about quiet quitting and burnout, it seems like the traditional 9-5 grind is losing its appeal. I've noticed more of my colleagues advocating for flexible schedules and remote work options. Has this shift in priorities played out in your workplace too? How has your company responded to demands for better work-life balance? Do you think this is the new normal, or just a temporary reaction to the pandemic?

Does your company invest in well being( Mental and Physical) of all employees ( not counting insurance stuff) ? Some of the place that i have worked, have invested a lot in it, but eventually the benefit does not get passed on to employee primarily because of lack of awareness on how to use them or people always caught with work that they don’t have time to access these help. I also feel that top executives and mid managers are not trained on how to tackle issue when their teammate reach out citing problems of what they are going through regarding mental well being. Out of ignorance the first instinct is to see if it does not hamper the org in anyway or get rid of employee. Would love to hear more on this

Hey folk! Looking for some referrals for my mental health startup. Have already conducted workshops on stress and anxiety in corporates. Now looking for more new leads.

I joined Synkrama Technologies Private Limited with enthusiasm, inspired by a positive and supportive environment. Initially, the atmosphere seemed promising, and I was motivated to contribute to the team. However, as time went on, I faced numerous challenges that profoundly impacted my professional and personal well-being. Early in my tenure, I was appointed as a Team Lead on several projects. This role, though a significant opportunity, came with immense pressure from our CEO, KJ. The expectation was to meet deadlines at any cost, which led to continuous mental stress. Under his directives, I inadvertently became a source of pressure for my colleagues , AN , and AB and other major colleagues . This created a strained and uncomfortable working environment for all of us as i used to put pressure on them on the influence of Karan Jain The situation worsened as I found myself working through weekends and even during leaves, resulting in severe mental exhaustion. Despite these efforts, new developers were hired, and I was sidelined. This period was particularly tough, leading to depression and sleepless nights. After enduring this for several months, I decided to resign from my position. Unexpectedly, KJ contacted me, urging me to withdraw my resignation. He assured me that the previous issues would be resolved and praised my contributions. Reluctantly, I decided to stay, hoping for a positive change. However, the company's environment continued to pose challenges. We were subjected to screen monitoring via Team Logger, where management frequently questioned my idle time. Despite my high productivity and efficiency, I was often scrutinized for taking breaks or assisting colleagues, which is essential for maintaining a collaborative workspace. Most recently, a significant and distressing event occurred, further affirming my decision to share my experience publicly. it’s crucial to address and bring awareness to the toxic practices that can affect employees’ mental health and overall well-being. I hope my story encourages organizations to foster genuinely supportive environments and prioritize the mental health of their employees. source: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/rutvik-borad-12409b19b_theabrcurseabrofabrcoprorate-activity-7199762667471839233-3wyR

Often People in Tech go through imposter syndrome, overthinking etc - mental wellness problems. Is there any specific community(/ platform) which helps techies to share what they are going through and connecting with related people who have experienced/ good enough to provide advices? If there are none, do you feel having such platform is useful? Will you be joining such platform to share your issues and seeking help - or you don’t consider this as a problem which needs a solution?

Been thinking about how remote work has changed the game for new hires. At my company, we've had to completely overhaul our onboarding process. It's been a real challenge trying to make newbies feel part of the team when they've never even set foot in our office. We've tried virtual coffee chats and online team-building activities, but it's not quite the same. How has your company handled this? Have you found any creative ways to build company culture in a remote setting?

I am working as a senior product manager in a fintech startup. I am under a lot of stress due to work pressure, continuous badgering from business and tech stakeholders and loneliness. I always think of going home but staying in stressful job mainly because I don't want to be jobless. I can only post my views here anonymously because I don't want to be seen as loser. Request members if they can provide their suggestions. PS : As far as my profile is concerned it's B tech + MBA from tier 1 college and 3 years of tech experience followed by 7 yrs into Product Management and living alone in Bangalore.
