"Take a mental health break!" "Practice self-care at lunch!" "Do some mindfulness between meetings!".

Meanwhile, back on Planet Earth, the reality of your average workday is:

• Back-to-back meetings
• 47 "urgent" emails
• That presentation you're behind on
• The client who's not happy
• The colleague who needs help
• The deadline that's creeping closer

Mental health isn't a moment. It's not something you can schedule between 2:00 and 2:15.

It's woven through every minute of every day, the good ones and the bad ones, the busy ones and the quiet ones. When we struggle, it's pervasive and constant.

Therefore workplace mental health is not something we can expect employees to 'perform', like something you tick off a to-do list. It's part of how we work, every single day. If you want to actually get your hands on the true ROI of wellbeing intervention in the workplace ( and it's MASSIVE ), you have to do it authentically and mapped to how employees actually are as human beings.
