"It's 2017 and Mental Health is still an issue in the workplace."。
With those words, Olark CEO Ben Congleton went on to powerfully and publicly address a commonly ignored issue in the workplace: the importance of mental health.。
After Congleton's employee, web developer Madalyn Parker, shared the understanding email he sent after learning she had taken time off for mental health reasons, the CEO used his newly viral voice to further explain just how crucial it is for employers to take the mental health seriously and make time to emotionally refresh.。

Following the positive reaction Parker's tweet received, Congleton wrote a post on Medium further discussing the need to normalize mental health as a "normal health issue," especially in the office. 。
"It is incredibly hard to be honest about mental health in the typical workplace. In situations like this, it is so easy to tell your teammates you are 'not feeling well,'" Congleton wrote. "Even in the safest environment it is still uncommon to be direct with your coworkers about mental health issues."。

"There were so many stories of people wishing they worked at a place where their CEO cared about their health, and so many people congratulating me on doing such a good thing," he wrote in the blog post, explaining that in 2017, we still have a lot of work to do in order to fight mental health stigmas in the world. 。

the CEO expanded on the potentially tumultuous consequences that can result from common reluctance and how it's time to openly welcome discussion and acceptance of mental illness. "We built this organization with this culture of where this kind of talk is no big deal," Congleton said. "So many people live in fear of disclosing mental health issues at work. In many ways, that fear makes those mental health issues worse."。
Congleton also expressed a belief that not only is a focus on the importance of mental health beneficial to the wellness of individuals, but encouraging a compassionate environment has the potential to enhance overall performance in the workplace. And Twitter users who found themselves in similar situations as Parker continued praised Congleton's empathy and genuine display of concern.。
