Mental Health America is the nation’s leading community-based nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health, well-being, and illness prevention for all. Mental Health America has spent decades researching mental health in the workplace and introduced in 2019 the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health to recognize companies and organizations that understand the value of addressing mental health at work and implement policies and practices that support employee well-being.
The Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health evaluates employer practices comprehensively, considering the entire employee experience. Led by Mental Health America’s extensive expertise in research and advocacy, this certification program serves as a beacon for organizations striving to prioritize mental wellness in the workplace.
“As May marks Mental Health Awareness Month, Quartz is proud to take the opportunity to highlight the importance of mental health in the workplace and beyond,” added Ward. “Quartz knows that mental health is foundational to overall health and well-being. From providing our members access to exceptional mental well-being programs to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for our employees, Quartz recognizes that mental well-being is a crucial component of a life well-lived.”
