Abstract
Looking toward the future, it is expected that mental well-being and work-life balance will become a necessary cornerstone to a successful organization’s mission and a central function of its management. This will require us as to reflect on our own capabilities and failings, abandon our fears of stigma and vulnerability, and adopt the courage to work with our employees, listen to them, and institute holistic change that will make for a more purposeful work experience and, ultimately, a more prosperous organization.
