During Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re all about companies that recognize how important their employees’ mental health and wellbeing are. It is, of course, important to support the wellness of your people at a core level — but it’s also essential for improving your company culture and the work you do.

That’s why we’ve rounded up nine companies with excellent mental health benefits that are hiring right now.

2. CarGurus

CarGurus is the most visited and used automotive marketplace in the U.S. — and it’s also a workplace where, as the company says, everyone can be themselves and thrive.

Because the company believes that it’s important to create a workplace where employees can show up as their “whole, authentic selves,” they prioritize mental health, giving workers the chance to take time off to focus on their well-being. Just one of its wellness initiatives is company-wide mental health holidays throughout the year when employees can take time to rest and recharge.
