Recommendation

COVID-19 may eventually be contained with an effective vaccine, but the toll the pandemic has taken on people’s mental health will linger. American businesses will need to help their “traumatized workforce” cope, or companies will face diminished productivity, business journalist Maria Aspan writes in Fortune. In an eye-opening piece, she lays out the enormous toll that a series of traumatizing experiences in 2020 has taken on workers’ mental health across the United States. She describes pioneering efforts US organizations have undertaken to address the situation – and calls on others to follow suit. This general-interest article holds particular significance for HR professionals.

Take-Aways

  • The burden of grief lays heavily on United States’ workers in 2020.
  • A “nationally traumatized workforce” constitutes a business risk.
  • Organizations must address grief and mental health challenges among their workforce.
