Event Description

Today’s workforce is operating in a climate of constant change—new technologies, evolving workplace expectations, and increasing pressure on employees and leaders alike. Mental health is interconnected to every aspect of overall health and productivity. Explore how forward-thinking organizations are strengthening employee mental wellbeing in meaningful ways, reducing stigma and introducing creative programs to broaden support for a multigenerational workforce. Learn how employers are building comprehensive programs to enhance culture, equip leaders as well as front line employees and align mental health strategies with broader business and benefits goals.

During this forum, you will:

  • Understand how mental health intersects with physical health and other dimensions of wellbeing.
  • Explore employer practices that foster openness, trust, and utilization of mental wellbeing resources, including approaches that support managers and reach frontline employees.
  • Apply practical approaches to align mental health investments with business and benefits goals.


This program is available both in-person and virtually.
