HR Tidbit: How are you doing? No, really.
Let’s face it: Life can be stressful. We all have tough days, and sometimes they become tough weeks, months or even years. Yet, when it comes to being honest about how we’re feeling, we often shrug offinquiries with a quick “I’m fine,” or “all right” or “Okay.” Now is the time to make it easier to talk about mental health and find support. Ifyou’re feeling like you could use some extra support right now, reach out at any time: Call: (877) 950-5075
