VP Of People & Operations Teaches Best
Practices For Health-Promoting Culture
Are you struggling to retain your employees? Is
there a palpable sense of low staff morale at
your office? Are you facing increasing rates of
burn-out? Voices' Ann Walton understands that
workplaces are typically more complex and
stressful than ever, but she argues that they
don't have to be.
Interviewed by Medium staff writer David
Liu in the article, titled ‘Ann Walton Of
Voices On 5 Ways That Businesses Can
Help Promote The Mental Wellness Of
Their Employees’, Walton focuses on
actionable strategies to improve
workplace culture. 
Walton's contributions in the interview are
particularly timely given the latest figures from
the CDC which indicate that 1 in 5 Americans
will struggle with a mental illness this year,
with over 50% of the nation being diagnosed
with a mental illness or disorder over the
course of their life.
Moreover, 76% of people have reported
having at least one symptom of a mental
health condition that was directly related to
their job and workplace. Another 81% also
state that they have left a job due to mental
health factors such as overwhelming and
unsustainable work. 
The evidence is increasingly prevalent
that poor mental health in your
workplace will lead to high rates of
attrition, increased absenteeism, a
reduction in productivity and often a
negative spiral of dropping staff
morale.
Ann Walton stresses that it is
imperative for you to ensure
that your employees feel
genuinely valued, seen and
cared for.
In conversation with David Liu, she
channels her experiences at the
forefront of a modern, multinational
corporation to develop a list of best
practices that you can implement to
create a healthy, mental wellness-
promoting workplace culture.
Citing Voices' recent collective subscription to
the Calm app, Walton argues that you simply
must invest in wellness and mental health
initiatives. She suggests that these should
cover essentials like therapy and counseling
benefits as well as healthy lifestyle benefits
like gym memberships.
Ann Walton is the Voices VP of People
& Operations. She has over 25 years of
experience in people management and
culture-creating and is proud to be
representing Voices and their innovative
approach to work and culture building
on the global stage.
