Surgeon general proposes ‘equity’ as way to boost mental health in the workplace
Fox News
Surgeon General Vivek Murthy says the COVID pandemic should force companies to look at new ways to improve mental health, and proposed "equity" as a solution.
Murthy said a 2021 survey showed that three-quarters of workers report at least one symptom of a mental health condition, and more than four-fifths are looking for jobs that support mental health. Murthy’s plan includes five components that are "centered on the worker voice and equity." Pete Kasperowicz is a politics editor at Fox News Digital.
The guide defines equity as "a more equitable policy and practice environment," and says this is achieved by "operationalizing relevant policies and programs in ways that ensure safety."
