To begin with, several companies offer support by having flexible work hours, remote/hybrid work structures, a work culture that understands and abides by the concept of time-offs, and more.   Besides this, there will also be facilities for wellness programs that can help employees have a better work life. These programs could spread awareness and build a safe space within the office, which could lead to the destigmatization of mental health and more open discussions.   Employers are also looking to employ therapists, counselors, and professionals who can be available during office hours to help employees anytime they need it and in an emergency. Above and beyond this, employers are also looking at 4-day work-weeks as a possibility to increase the productivity of the people.
