This May, NRG joins millions in observing Mental Health Awareness Month and turning awareness into action.
我们的起点 - 意识和观点
At NRG, our first and most important value is Safety and Well-Being. We take a holistic approach to employee well-being that incorporates physical, mental, and financial health.
Taking on the challenge with action
我们不仅仅是一种价值，我们还提供资源来帮助员工及其家人为意外的生活做准备，并确定生活中的健康。
Because healthy living and mental health are deeply connected, our company supports and conducts various wellness initiatives throughout the year. For the month of May, our “Move for Mental Health” movement challenge encourages employees to incorporate regular exercise into their daily routine, helping to reduce stress and improve overall health.
我们员工每500步，我们将向全国精神疾病联盟捐款1美元，最终目标为25,000美元。
Real-world assistance for real-world needs
Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides employees with resources that can equip them to address life circumstances, including stress and anxiety, work-life balance, child- and parental-care, moving to a new home, planning for college, and making a major purchase. These pivotal moments are exactly the times when assistance, options, and answers are most welcomed and valuable.
Integrating mental health tools
为员工提供有关心理健康的工具和知识，使他们在需要时更有可能获得帮助。这就是国家行为健康委员会为员工提供基于技能的培训计划的想法。心理健康急救（MHFA）课程介绍并解释了一系列心理健康状况，如何识别迹象和症状以及支持可能展示它们的同事或家人的步骤。
There are currently almost 120 employees certified by the program.
“This program complements our company’s work in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I). I view DE&I as a macro way to make societal change, and Mental Health First Aid as much more individual-focused. Both are a call to listen, understand, and empathize with our colleagues as well as support them to be their best selves.”
詹妮弗·布鲁内尔（Jennifer Brunelle）
VP, Talent Acquisition, Development, & Diversity and certified MHFA
Bringing technology to the cause
从新的工作场所动态中，有新的解决方案。我们扩展了对Compsys和Teladoc（例如Compsys和Teladoc）的虚拟护理的访问，以增强与家门与提供商的机密连接。除了这些虚拟和面对面的行为健康方案外，Headspace应用程序还提供了正念的冥想，以增强睡眠并轻松获取指导性运动程序。
The value of human connections
When it comes to emotional and mental health, having other people to connect with and be authentic is extremely beneficial. NRG’s employee-led and open-to-everyone,business resource groups(BRG) not only facilitate networking and collaboration, they provide a safe environment for discussing difficult topics and a network for additional support.
BRGs collaborate with various business projects, providing consultation and guidance, so NRG can better serve our current and future employees. In 2021, over 1,000 employees participated with the 15 groups based on both protected classes and common interests.
Mental health is everyone’s health
As we continue to face uncertainty in this world, our commitment to employees, customers, and communities remains unwavering. Mental health is at the center of these efforts and stands as a steadfast priority. NRG is proud to partner with several nonprofits that support the mental well-being in our communities including:NAMI,American Foundation for Suicide Prevention和PTSD Foundation of America.
您并不孤单，帮助您。拥抱支持可能并不容易，但是它可以导致积极的变化并帮助创造成功的基础。
