At Commvault, we believe that nurturing an open, supportive environment is key to a thriving workplace. This November, at the Commvault COE, we dedicated the entire month to raising awareness and driving meaningful conversations around men’s mental health during our Commvault Cares Quarter of Caring– a global initiative that encourages prioritizing well-being for all employees. By focusing on this often-overlooked issue, we aimed to create an atmosphere where everyone feels empowered to speak up and seek support.

Throughout the month, we engaged employees with a series of impactful activities. These included sharing thought-provoking notes and compelling facts across channels, as well as encouraging managers to incorporate mental health check-ins during their regular interactions to drive open communication.

On Nov. 19, our International Men’s Day celebration brought employees together for an enriching day of fellowship that included games, a panel discussion featuring diverse perspectives on mental health, and more. We also hosted expert-led sessions, including Karthik R.’s workshop on overcoming fears and embracing vulnerability. Each of these initiatives was thoughtfully designed to raise awareness, provide practical tools, and inspire a culture of empathy and connection.

Additionally, as part of our commitment to mental health, we conducted a survey to understand how our employees perceive mental health support at Commvault. The results were encouraging: 76% of respondents felt comfortable discussing mental health concerns with colleagues or managers, and 68% expressed that they feel supported by their teams when facing challenges.

These insights reinforce our belief that creating a culture of openness and empathy is vital to employee well-being. At Commvault, we provide a wide range of support to keep our employees’ health and well-being a top priority.

In addition to regular check-ins by managers and monthly workshops, we take immense pride in offering valuable resources, including doctor-on-call services, partnerships with Cult Fitness, and the Spring Health benefit – all aimed at helping employees prioritize both their physical and mental health.

Looking ahead, we remain committed to keeping these conversations alive. By continuing to prioritize mental health through programs like these and reinforcing our support systems, we strive to create a workplace where every employee, regardless of gender, feels valued, heard, and supported. Let’s keep breaking barriers and building an inclusive environment where mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health – every day of the year.
