HR pros face many tough situations during their careers. One of these challenges involves learning the signs and mannerisms that could suggest an employee is struggling.
If an HR professional isn’t trained in this topic, they may turn a neutral situation into a negative, snowballing problem.
However, HR teams who help eliminate stigma, increase awareness, and provide resources to address issues can improve employees’ way of life and empower them to be better in the workplace. Join the conversation with the Future-Focused Terminal's host Seana Fairchild and guests Norma Martinez ConGlobal’s Director of Human Resources, Dijana Karajic, ConGlobal’s Director of Total Rewards and HRIS; and Lauren Slye, MBA, LPC, a Behavioral Clinical Strategist from Cigna.
Key takeaways are:
- HR professionals, employers, and people managers play a significant role in the lives of their employees.
- Breaking down barriers and eliminating the stigma around mental health encourages employees to get the help they need.
- There are signs people managers should take note of that indicate an employee is struggling, and Lauren provides tips for how managers can tee up help and resources.
- Help looks different for everyone. There are different types of therapy, and you should “try” a therapist out, and if the care doesn’t meet your needs, it’s OK to switch.
- The perception of mental health varies by generation. Older generations view mental illness or struggle as a sign of weakness, and are unlikely to admit to experiencing problems. In comparison, younger generations have a higher level of mental health literacy.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
