At my previous job they had a “dealing with overworking” webinar within the first few days I joined. During the webinar it came out that like 75% of the people in my department worked unpaid overtime every week… I only lasted a year there, not for that reason specifically but it was definitely an interesting first impression…
Make sure the webinar is during lunch hour. Otherwise it doesn’t count.
Also better make it mandatory. You can eat when you’re dead.
Best I can do is clean out half a storage closet, put a broken wobbly chair in it, replace the warm orange-hued light with a harsh fluorescent one, put a security camera pointing directly at the chair, and then lock the closet so you have to ask to get in.
Congratulations on your new “Self-care/Mental Health room” please use it whenever* you need it**.

I’m a strong believer that those cold spectrum fluorescents are stressful as hell and they’re a major reason people hate their office job, but they don’t know that part.
Both are needed.
