May encourages employees to spend World Mental Health Day investing in themselves

by Amanda Krause, director of people operations, May Mobility

At May Mobility, total wellness is paramount to the success of our people. While our vehicles may drive themselves, it’s our people who drive our success. This means we prioritize investing in their overall health in really meaningful ways.

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. We seek to raise awareness and support around mental wellness regularly, but this year we have intentionally chosen to add World Mental Health Day to our list of paid holidays. We are proud to honor World Mental Health Day by providing employees the opportunity to unplug, recharge and invest in themselves and their loved ones.

Additionally, we offer all of our employees free access to Headspace and Ginger – award-winning apps that promote mental wellness and provide virtual and confidential therapy sessions.

Our Leadership Team is passionate about ensuring that we foster an environment of psychological safety for our whole team. This means not only having the courage to speak out about mental health but also taking action to prove its importance. Together we will continue to prioritize our health and wellness and invest in our greatest asset: our people!
