May 21st, 2025
In this episode of the Pulse, we explored the powerful connection between an organization’s culture and environment and employee mental health. We discussed how improving workplace culture, physical spaces, and social connections can boost resilience, reduce anxiety and depression, and create a stronger sense of belonging.
Mental health service usage increased 17% in 2024 and 62% since 2020. Don’t miss this opportunity to discover new ways to support your team and improve employee mental health.
Panelists:
- Explored the influence of resiliency and a sense of belonging on mental health
- Uncovered strategies employers can put in place to improve a sense of belonging
- Examined the factors that impact resiliency, much like we would focus on improving diet for better cardiovascular health.
