💨 Abstract

Dan Simons, a D.C.-based entrepreneur, advocates for normalizing mental health discussions in the workplace. He argues that addressing mental health can boost productivity and financial benefits. Simons compares mental health to a smartphone's operating system, noting that both need occasional rebooting. His company offers free mental health resources to employees. He believes that investing in mental health yields a significant return through increased productivity, retention, and reduced errors, thereby benefiting both companies and communities.
