However, in the United States, four out of every five people who die by suicide are men, according to the CDC. Between 2003 and 2010, the suicide rate among working age men in Massachusetts increased by 45 percent. In response, Screening for Mental Health, Inc., a nonprofit organization, and the Massachusetts Department of Public Health have partnered to fight this public health crisis by introducing a brand new initiative called Mass Men (MassMen.org).

When it comes to employee retention, the best offense can be a good defense. While many organizations offer training for new hires, it's important to consider the development needs of staff at all levels in your organization. Not only does comprehensive training and development improve job performance, it also helps employees understand their growth potential within your organization. Pairing staff members with mentors and coaches and ensuring they receive regular developmental check-ins and discussions on goals helps them feel positive about their trajectory within the organization and can increase employee retention.
