After the coronavirus pandemic and the murder of George Floyd had rocked Minneapolis in 2020, executives at US data security company Entrust noticed a spike in the number of workers filing mental health claims, and in the complaints about staff performance.

Employees at Entrust's headquarters — located just half an hour's drive from the epicentre of protests that consumed the nation after the killing — were requesting more leaves of absence, as well.
