Finding a working environment that works for you is difficult. So many factors come into play, including the work itself, pay, or coworkers. To have it all mesh in a way that isn't stressful is nearly a miracle.

Naturally, there are plenty of stresses that come from life and no one wants to work for a business that adds to the problem. Thankfully, mental health is much more of a focus today. Many employers are taking the initiative to help prioritize their employees's mental health around the country and some of the best at it are here in Michigan.
