Sure, a step in the right direction, but to me it still does not meet the low bar of it really being a consideration.
I've always seen things like mindfulness and meditation as fighting a symptom. You first put people into this overworked and anxious state of mind and then offer this "fix", rather then addressing the root cause.
When people are struggling with mental health at work, reduce the pressure on output and/or give them more free time. It doesn't solve all problems but it's the most meaningful and direct action an employer can take.
If an employer cannot afford that or is simply unwilling, I'm cool with that. As long as they admit it and don't pretend to care with a cheap email.
Same with appreciating people. Give them money. Stop making it so complicated. Money talks. Nobody cares about HR points.
