Put your own life vest on first – why it’s vital internal communicators start prioritising their mental health

Those who look after internal communications often have to convey difficult or confronting information to their workplaces. They also work to support and normalise mental health and wellbeing initiatives. But who’s looking out for their wellbeing, asks Ramak Salamat, APAC vice president at employee comms business Staffbase.

When it comes to the articles I read about internal communications professionals and mental health, the focus is almost always on the importance of messaging to support and normalise mental health in employee comms.  

While this is an incredibly important point, it does beg the question – who is looking out for the mental health of internal communicators?
