Mental Health Advocacy: The Power of Workplace Support and Benefits

Nine To Thrive HR

In this episode we meet up with Meg Shea from New York Life Group Benefit Solutions (NYLGBS) to discuss the importance of mental health in the workplace. The podcast highlights the impact of mental health caregiving on work productivity and reveals that almost half of employed adults surveyed have helped a loved one cope with a mental health challenge in the past year. Furthermore, 80% of surveyed workers reported that assisting a loved one impacted their own mental health. By prioritizing mental well-being, employers can enhance employee satisfaction, engagement, and overall well-being, ultimately leading to a more productive and satisfied workforce. A must listen as Meg shares valuable insights from the recently released research by NYLGBS. Link to research: https://www.newyorklife.com/assets/gbs/pdf/Caregivers-And-Mental-Health.pdf?
