Prioritizing Mental Health: Tapestry’s Employee Well-Being Initiatives
At Tapestry, we nurture an environment where people are both compassionate and diligent, where work is both demanding and enjoyable, and where our culture is guided by both intellect and empathy. A key aspect of our culture is creating a sense of purpose and fulfillment for our employees – we all flourish when we can bring our authentic selves to work and feel valued.
Good mental health is vital to achieving your full potential. Together with our brands Coach, Kate Spade New York, and Stuart Weitzman, Tapestry supports employee well-being throughout the year, encouraging employees to learn how to care for their own and their loved ones' emotional health. In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re emphasizing that self-care is essential.
PROVIDING EMPLOYEES WITH TOOLS AND RESOURCES FOR WELL-BEING
Balancing deadlines, meetings, and emails can sometimes overshadow the need to take a break and recharge. To support our employees, Tapestry is dedicated to offering benefits that enhance mental well-being. For instance, counseling is available through the Employee Assistance Program, and mental health resources are provided through our parenting digital health platform and caregiver benefit programs.
Tapestry also collaborates with Headspace, a mindfulness app, to offer all employees free subscriptions. This month, Headspace is hosting Mental Health Awareness Roundtables to help associates learn how to advocate for their own and their loved ones' mental well-being. Recognizing the importance of time and flexibility for well-being, Tapestry offers up to nine wellness days per year for mental health days, doctor appointments, and more.
EMPLOYEE BUSINESS RESOURCE GROUPS FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH
Throughout the month, our Employee Business Resource Groups (EBRGs) have organized events and activities centered on employees. Priority You, Tapestry’s employee-led group that provides holistic wellness tools, resources, and education for all associates, placed coloring books and colored pencils in conference rooms and coffee bars in Tapestry’s U.S. offices and fulfillment centers to promote mindfulness, stress relief, and embracing imperfection. We’re encouraging teams to take breaks to color together and enjoy each other’s company!
On May 16, our LGBTQIA+ Prouder Together EBRG hosted a discussion on Transgender Youth and Mental Health, focusing on allyship to support the mental health of transgender youth. Moderated by RJ Crossley, Prouder Together EBRG lead and Stuart Weitzman Store Manager, the panel featured Kevin Wong from the Trevor Project, Salem Vazcones from the Hetrick-Martin Institute, and Dr. Vivid (Dr. Ashley Elliott), a licensed clinician and youth advocate.
