GitLab Mental Health Awareness Week Recap

In 2020, GitLab's all-remote team faced challenges due to the global pandemic, leading to feelings of burnout and exhaustion among team members. In response, the Learning and Development (L&D) team launched an asynchronous internal learning campaign to raise awareness and provide access to mental health resources. This initiative utilized tools such as GitLab issues, Slack, and Zoom, and featured a live speaker series with John Fitch, co-author of "Time Off." While the campaign resulted in a slight increase in awareness of mental health resources, the L&D team recognized the need for ongoing efforts to better communicate and empower employees. Moving forward, GitLab plans to continue developing mental health and burnout management initiatives, including a self-paced learning path, to support team members' wellbeing and resilience in the face of ongoing challenges.
