Quotes:

“I think [when] employees are part of a community, they feel less inclined to leave because they have a reason to belong.”

“I know all these companies are doing mental health days, and it’s not that I don’t support mental health days, but I support mental health days more often. I think it’s important to know when you’ve reached your limit and when you need some time to yourself.”
