Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The office landscape's shifting now, beyond the old facade
Mental health's no longer just "deal with it" regard
Employers feel the weight of minds that struggle every day
EAP programs need fresh designs to show a better way

[Chorus]
Mind the gap between wellness and work
Psychological safety can't be just a perk
Burnout's not your failing, it's systems out of line
Support and structure, recovery and time
HR holds the keys to healthier minds

[Verse 2]
When trauma hits the workplace floor, response must be prepared
Crisis plans and gentle hands show employees they're cared
Grief walks through the office doors, unbidden and unplanned
Flexible policies stretch wide like an understanding hand

[Chorus]
Mind the gap between wellness and work
Psychological safety can't be just a perk
Burnout's not your failing, it's systems out of line
Support and structure, recovery and time
HR holds the keys to healthier minds

[Bridge]
Substance use requires nuance, not judgment or shame
Performance standards still apply while playing the long game
Recovery journeys twist and turn, accommodation's art
Balancing needs of business with mending broken hearts

[Verse 3]
Utilization rates tell tales of programs left unused
Redesign with user input, barriers removed
Psychological safety builds when voices can be heard
Without fear of repercussions for speaking truthful words

[Final Chorus]
Mind the gap between wellness and work
Make psychological safety more than just a perk
Burnout stems from broken systems, not weak resolve
Support and structure help us all evolve
HR holds the keys to healthier minds
HR holds the keys to healthier minds
