JMP supports employee mental health and overall well-being, but it also supports mental health for society at large. This year’s World Mental Health Day theme is “Mental health is a universal human right.”
Throughout the year, JMP offers recharge days (like the one we all enjoyed this past week) allowing all employees to take a day for themselves to rest and reset.
SAS also offers many resources for employee well-being, including on-demand mental health resources, ample opportunities for movement and physical activity, and programs and services that help us maintain proper nutrition and give us access to quality health care.
You can dive into all SAS offers on the Well-being at SAS site. See what’s happening this month in the Well-being at SAS October newsletter (you can subscribe to the monthly newsletter by emailing well-being@sas.com).
Here are a few upcoming events happening in line with World Mental Health Day:
