THE MODERN WORKPLACE IS EVOLVING, AND WITH it, expectations around employee well-being. As conversations about mental health become more prominent, companies across the U.S. are taking steps to create environments where employees feel supported, valued and empowered to bring their best selves to work.

I’m about to witness Michael Anthony Tanzi exhale for the final time as the government’s retribution for kidnapping and killing 49-year-old Janet Acosta during a harrowing four-hour nightmare on April 25, 2000. Moments earlier—on April 8, 2025, almost 25 years to the day that the crime was committed—I was ushered into the small, unadorned viewing room by Florida Department of Corrections staff, who instructed me to remain silent throughout the entire procedure.
