USDOL Issues Workplace Mental Health Toolkit

Jan 7, 2026

Fostering a Mental Health-Friendly Workplace

It’s the new year and a good moment to check in with yourself and those around you. The post-holiday season can be difficult, particularly for those with mental health conditions whose symptoms may be triggered or worsened. For employers, now is the time to adopt or update workplace policies and practices designed to protect employees’ mental health and well-being. A mental health-friendly workplace is great for employees and great for business, and the United States Department of Labor (USDOL) Employer Assistance and Resource Network on Disability (EARN) has a resource to help. EARN’s Workplace Mental Health Toolkit lays out best practices, including the “4 As”: awareness, accommodations, assistance, and access to treatment. These strategies benefit both employees and employers, helping boost mental health and productivity.
