How Can Team Awareness NY Help Your Team?
Team Awareness NY has been shown to increase employee help-seeking for and supervisor responsiveness to workers with issues such as stress, anxiety, burnout, fatigue, and substance misuse. It not only reduces the rate of problem substance use and common mental health struggles among employees, but also has been proven to improve the workplace’s emotional climate and team culture.
