Abstract: The purpose of our commentary is to expand the conversation started by the focal article (Bergman & Jean, 2016) by providing a practitioner perspective, especially focusing on practitioners who work in a government or military context. We believe this perspective is valuable because (a) interventions and research projects involving nonprofessional/nonmanagement workers are already regularly being conducted in this context; (b) there are likely to be other causes of a lack of focus on broader populations of workers in this context than those highlighted by the focal article, some of which may differ between practitioners and academics; and (c) we believe practitioners in this context have much to contribute to solving the potential problems that the focal article highlights.
