I am a crisis management/communication expert, consultant, and author of the award-winning Crisis Ahead: 101 Ways to Prepare For And Bounce Back From Disasters, Scandals, And Other Emergencies (Nicholas Brealey). Crisis Ahead was rated one of best new crisis management books to read in 2020 and 2021— and one of the best crisis management books of all time — by BookAuthority.org. My advice and observations are based on my extensive experience helping companies, organizations, and individuals prevent, manage, and recover from a variety of crisis situations. I'm the former CEO of two trade associations, a PR consultant to hundreds of clients, press secretary for Democratic and Republican members of Congress and political candidates and a consultant for Ogilvy Public Relations and other PR and advertising agencies.

“In the 10 years I've been doing research on employer priorities, this is the first time I've seen this big of a gap between the reality that workers and employers perceive,” said“When analyzed in aggregate, the data from this research indicates that employers are trying to implement solutions to support mental health needs for the workforce, but the reality is these efforts aren't being seen, felt, and received by many of the workers they are meant to support,” he observed.

“Mental health has been a growing focus for employer—especially over the past couple of years—and our survey shows that many have made positive improvements. So, to still earn a 4.4 ranking on a ten-point scale shows that whatever they’re doing is missing the mark. “For the most part, employers need to focus more on listening to their workforce and providing a variety of options so they can provide mental health support that better aligns with workers’ needs,” Held recommended.found there's a disconnect between what's currently being done and what would help most.

According to the report, “Business leaders say their workplaces are using a number of strategies and tactics to support mental health in the workplace—an average of five per company. “But there’s some disconnect between what organizations are doing, and what business leaders say would be most helpful. The top option for our survey respondents ....ranked dead last in companies’ current strategies.”Only 7% of business leaders said they own or champion workplace mental health and wellness as part of their own role.Only 31% of leaders said they’re addressing it and already are planning to do more.
