Güd Marketing is proud to be awarded the 2022-23 Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health Certification from Mental Health America (MHA). The Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health is a first-of-its-kind mental health certification recognizing employers striving to improve mental health and create a psychologically safe workplace.
Now more than ever, employers are implementing “workplace wellness” initiatives to attract and retain employees. A large set of factors contribute to employees’ overall well-being and engagement rates. Mental Health America’s survey data shows that mentally healthy workers are more productive, happier and loyal to their company.
MHA has spent decades researching mental health in the workplace, and in 2019, MHA introduced the Bell Seal for Workplace Mental Health. The Bell Seal acknowledges employer advances in workplace mental health by awarding Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum recognition levels. After MHA’s careful evaluation of the Lansing agency’s policies and practices, Güd Marketing celebrates its Silver recognition in four areas: workplace culture, benefits, compliance and wellness programs.
“Güd Marketing is honored to receive the Bell Seal certification and be recognized for our commitment to employee mental health and well-being,” said Debbie Horak, Güd Marketing principal and president. “Güd continues to build upon well-being programs emphasized on physical, mental and financial health for all employees and is committed to focusing on our programming with the input of our employees and leadership.”
Güd Marketing’s work in the following areas served to determine the Bell Seal certification:
  • Professional development opportunities including education reimbursements, professional courses and networking events.
  • Open-door and flexible policies to build trust and collaboration among managers and direct reports.
  • Encouraging PTO usage and setting clear boundaries for employees working outside their typical working hours.
  • Utilization of the Entrepreneurial Operating System to provide structure and fairness to ensure operations.
  • Membership in business owner groups to garner multiple viewpoints and ideas from other business owners to improve products and culture.
We believe in something greater. At Güd Marketing, we strengthen communities by connecting people to social causes through strategic communications. By assisting our partners in finding solutions that make meaningful differences, we take pride in our work and help build the foundation for a better future. Each of our 42 team members provides both a unique and diverse perspective to inform and inspire our work at Güd Marketing.
