June 2026
June engagement strategy is focusing on Burnout and Balance. Burnout is an increasingly common issue in today’s workplace—and it’s one with serious consequences. The 82% of workers globally who experience burnout are more likely to call in sick, go to the ER, and look for other jobs, making the condition a necessary priority for any organization. The best strategy? Helping employees avoid overwhelm and recharge when needed.
Burnout isn’t just a feeling of fatigue or overwhelm. It’s a form of severe, prolonged stress that can cause loss of motivation, emotional exhaustion, and impaired functioning at work and in life. Prioritizing mental health by creating stronger boundaries and embracing self-care can reduce stress, boost well-being, and prevent long-term burnout, and Calm has resources that can help:

May engagement strategy is focusing on Tackling Anxiety. Anxiety is now the most pressing mental health concern in the workplace—so it’s essential to support employees in tackling it, both to improve their well-being and to make their experience at work more positive. When your workforce feels less anxious, they are better able to show up fully at work and in their personal lives, making them happier, healthier, and more productive. Use our communication templates below to start sharing supportive resources within your organization.
