How to Ask for a Mental Health Day

Lucas and Luna tackle a listener question about requesting mental health days at work. Using a 2024 Deloitte survey that found 78% of Gen Z and millennial workers have left a job due to mental health concerns, they discuss framing the request as a professional necessity rather than a personal need, the difference between sick days and mental health days, and how to set boundaries around disclosure. They also cover what to do when your company doesn't have a formal policy and how to gauge your manager's receptiveness before making the ask. Concrete scripts for email and in-person requests included. #MentalHealthDay #WorkplaceWellness #CareerAdvice #SelfCare #Burnout #ManagerCommunication #WorkLifeBalance #GenZ #Millennials #DeloitteSurvey #PTO #SickDays #CorporateCulture #HR #EmployeeWellbeing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #OfficeHours Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
