In this session...
Employers are increasingly interested in supporting the mental health of employees and their families, especially in the response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, but how can employers translate intention into action? Mental health was already critically underserved prior to the pandemic, and ongoing isolation, loss and barriers to treatment have exacerbated the needs of many. Learn from One Mind at Work, an employer coalition on workplace mental health, about how companies are facing these issues and meeting the challenges of the current environment through flexible support and empathetic leadership, among other strategies.
