#8 - Mental Health at Work: A Generational Shift

What if your company offered psychedelic therapy or a concierge to help with elder care? Workplace mental health is undergoing a radical transformation—and Gen Z is helping lead the charge. In this episode of From X to Z, Danielle Farage and Mervyn Dinnen explore how attitudes toward mental wellbeing at work have shifted from silence and stigma to openness and innovation. They trace the evolution across generations—from the “leave your problems at the door” mindset to a new era where emotional health, work-life balance, and mental clarity are seen as essential to performance. With a spotlight on emerging benefits, cultural expectations, and the pressures of always-on technology, this conversation unpacks how companies can better support a workforce that’s overwhelmed, hyperconnected, and demanding more than just a paycheck.
