You need to know your teams emotional status; only then can you strive to move upwards to a “happy” workplace
It’s not something you can just jump to with a “teamwork event” - it takes time, nurturing & motivation
Keep checking in on how people feel 🪜

Your mental health is just as deserving of care as your physical health.
Don't be afraid to seek help, because it doesn't define your strength - it's a sign of courage. Remember that everyone struggles, even those who seem to have it all together.
And most importantly, you'll be surprised by the abundance of support that awaits you.
You are not alone, and seeking help is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of resilience and self-love.
