Check in time

Another World Mental Health Awareness message

It’s easy to poke fun at companies and people who signal loudly about awareness days, then put their awareness back in a box for another year, as they slip back into punitive bias.

When truthfully it shouldn’t be a day, it should be a continuum.

On this day, and any day, why not check in on people you’ve lost touch with, people you catch up with transactionally, and people you know so well you overlook?

Why not speak to one of your applicants / candidates? Someone who’s been out of work for a while and could do with an ear?

And see how they are really doing.

How can you help? How can you listen?

Maybe I’ve got it all wrong, and shouting loudly is better than simple steps.

But it’s what I’ve done today, taking extra time to try and help candidates outside of their applications, and it seems to help.

Thanks for reading.
