As part of this commitment, we and many of our brands offer programs and resources to support associates – from well-being and resilience training to workshops on psychological safety, coaching, self-care guides and more. These initiatives ensure that mental health support is accessible.   As life is full of ups and downs, at Ahold Delhaize, we believe that by prioritizing mental health both personally and at work, we can create a culture of psychological safety, support, and acceptance.
