Intellect's and EngageRocket's panel of
experts share their opinions on approaching
mental health conversations

A lot of workplace issues
manifest when people keep
things to themselves.

“Being able to talk to someone, whether they are a trained professional or not, can be a cathartic experience for them. Of course, we can’t take for granted that all managers have the aptitude for it, but training those who genuinely want to support their team members is a big step.

– Theodoric Chew,
CEO

Managers need to be equipped with tools to help nurture teams at the ground level.

“To support the relational needs of the evolving organization, managers will need to be empowered, enabled, and equipped with tools to help nurture teams at the ground level. HR can no longer do everything in a world that is hyperlocal and deeply diverse.”

– Sonali Sharma,
VP of Product and People Science
