Employers are trying to retain their workers and combat the Great Resignation in numerous ways, from giving raises to investing in mental health programs. While that can certainly help with retention, there is an issue that persistently drives away talent: a bad boss. According to our 2022 Talent Retention Report, 43.7% of workers who changed jobs did so because they were unhappy with their manager, even more than unsatisfactory pay (41.2%).
On today's episode of Find Your Niche: A Career Podcast, host Lori Cole addresses the harmful effects of a bad boss and how one causes a toxic work environment. If you’ve already approached HR and quitting your job isn't an option, there are ways to improve or maintain your mental health in the workplace, such as:
- Make time for self-care activities (exercise, meditation, or hobbies)
- Set boundaries with your boss to improve your relationship with them
- Seek out support, either from friends, family, or a mental health professional
Licensed therapist Hannah Rose also joins Cole to discuss mental health in the workplace. Rose is the founder and clinical supervisor for Rose Wellness. The two talk about:
- Rose's advice for working in mental health therapy
- The challenges of beginning her private practice
- How mental health therapy helps people with their workplace stressors
