Mark shares his own experiences with mental health challenges at work, some good and some bad, and then lays out effective ways for managers to address these kinds of challenges when brought to their attention. This includes creating an environment where employees aren’t afraid to speak up about what they’re going through, which can result in better relationships and even more productivity. Mark Bailey lives with anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder. Finding success on his journey has inspired him to help others, especially his peers at Procter and Gamble, where Mark is a Human Resources Expert. Mark created a global employee mental health support group, co-edits a healthy minds newsletter, and leads his site’s vibrant living program. Mark also leads Montgomery County NAMI’s Progression program which focuses on teen mental health in downtown Dayton, where he currently resides.
