#37 - Burnout, Rust-Out, and the Real ROI of Mental Health at Work with Rebecca Reed

In this must-listen episode of The State of Work Today, I speak with Rebecca Reed, global workplace wellbeing expert and founder of Siendo, who reveals her remarkable journey from corporate banking to frontline mental health care. Especially important this May and mental health awareness month in Canada, the US and the UK. Discover why your organization might be missing critical early warning signs of employee stress, how the overlooked phenomenon of "rust-out" can be just as devastating as burnout, and practical leadership strategies that genuinely build psychological safety. Rebecca presents compelling ROI data proving that neglecting mental health initiatives actually costs your business more than implementing effective wellbeing programs. Listen now to transform how you approach mental health in your workplace and unlock the hidden performance potential of a truly supported team.
