In the latest episode, Fran Katsoudas, the Chief People Officer at Cisco, says that in the past year, mental health has been at the forefront of the company’s conservation about workplace culture. “It’s a dialogue that historically has been taboo at all companies,” she says. Recently, Cisco’s CEO Chuck Robbins sent an e-mail inviting employees to share personal stories around mental health issues, resulting in a company-wide meeting that she says helped every employee feel comfortable to be their whole selves at work.
