Workforce Mental Health

Providing a healthy and supportive environment continues to be at the forefront of employers' workplace strategy. Employers are increasingly recognizing that employee support doesn't stop at the office door and that a comprehensive program considers employees' family and home environment. While many employers and other health plan sponsors have taken steps to adjust or enhance their offerings, many are still unsure of what is most effective and appropriate for their population. Learn how to create, modify and sustain a program that is most effective for your workforce—whether it's made up of isolated workers, those on the front lines or a mix of both—leveraging tools and techniques that make a difference.
