One potential silver lining of the global pandemic has been that the importance of supporting mental health has become increasingly evident as both a social and business imperative, more than ever before. Workplaces that make the mental health of their workers a priority strive to optimize organizational and individual performance in a healthy working environment and can differentiate their organization to be an employer of choice with an ability to attract and retain the best talent. But what can organizations do to incorporate or even advance mental health as a pillar of their success?

Learning Objectives:

  • Understand the business imperatives and benefits of supporting mental health in the workplace
  • Discuss approaches and assessment tools that can be utilized to help identify issues or benchmark your organizations progress in creating a mental health supportive workplace
  • Explore approaches an organization can take to foster a mental health supportive workplace (come prepared to share your best practices too!)
