Failing to address workforce mental health increases risk exposure, and globally, poor mental health costs an estimated $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.

This facilitated discussion will explore how a strategic focus on mental health and well-being can unlock individual potential, reduce organizational risk, and enhance organizational performance. Attendees will learn how to assess their company's current workplace mental health programs, policies and practices, identify risk exposures, and make informed decisions that ensure a thriving, resilient workforce. By understanding and acting on these factors, leaders can pave the way for a successful future that builds on your corporate strength for future growth and innovation."
