Should Workplace Benefits Include Employee Mental Health Programs?
May 21st | 12:00–12:40pm ET
About the Event
Like any popular musician, the best benefits package is one that’s evolved to meet current times and while Beyoncé might not be on your HR team, you can certainly think like her (queue Cowboy Carter playing in the background). With younger generations entering the workforce, the downswing of the Great Resignation, new dynamics between employees and emerging technology, and external economic pressures, modern benefits packages take into consideration how these variables impact work culture.
4-day work weeks or a la carte benefits have all entered the market as new experiments for productivity and employee satisfaction, but what about mental health programs? HR leaders play a strategic role in employee wellbeing, but should that include navigating mental health-related issues? Join HR Brew this Mental Health Awareness Month for a virtual event on how companies are already explicitly supporting their employees mental health as part of ever-evolving benefits packages, what’s working, what isn’t, and how they’re building impactful programs without reinventing the wheel.
