Given the high prevalence of chronic stress, burnout and mental health disorders reported by US employees and the associated costs borne by employers, the American Heart Association’s CEO Roundtable commissioned the Center for Workplace Health to report on effective strategies to address mental health disorders in the workplace. This webinar shares insights and implications of the published report including:
- The business case for investing in the mental health of employees;
- What current research tells us about the effectiveness of mental health interventions in the workplace;
- Employee perceptions of these programs, and their interests in mental health related topics; and
- Implications for research and practice.
