Achieving Wellness: Mental Health in the Workplace

Description

Pandemic infections, lockdowns and social isolation are causing a sharp rise in mental illnesses. McKinsey & Company suggests a workplace mental health revolution is coming. Organizations have made investments in mental health awareness campaigns, tools and resources for employees. Despite this, the mental health crisis has not slowed. What else can employers do to prepare?

Mental illness prohibits self-care, and employee's struggle to identify mental illness in themselves. Additionally, benefits are complex, which means the onus is on the employee to find the right mental health tools and to navigate a mix of paramedical and clinical resources.

In this on-demand webinar, Medical Confidence's Angela Johnson and Dr. Diana Garcia, Chief Psychologist at CloudMD, share how employers can ensure their mental health investments support employees when they need it most.

Dr. Garcia and Angela share with employers and advisors how they can engage employees in their own mental health journey. Specifically, they cover:

Why many employees do not take action and do not access the benefits available to them

How employers can harness the investments made in mental health solutions and support employees to take action today to support mental health in the workplace, beyond technology

This webinar is suitable for Canadian employers of all sizes, along with advisors in the benefits industry.

This session was originally broadcast on February 2nd, 2021.
