May is Mental Health Awareness Month

 

Fresh off the MHEDA Convention theme of “The Human Factor,” we want to continue to raise awareness of mental health in the workplace. One of the 2023 Material Handling Business trends states: “Some employees are experiencing worker fatigue, mental health issues and low morale due to current pressures in and out of the workplace. Leaders must be cognizant of this and provide support when and where needed.” Please revisit this article from The MHEDA Journal, which includes valuable resources and a personal experience written by MHEDA member Mitch Schlater, President of MECO-OMAHA.
