About the Session

Mental health isn't just an issue; it's a silent crisis that's affecting your workforce, your bottom line, and your community. Since the onset of COVID-19, UnitedAg has witnessed an increase in the utilization and associated costs related to mental health services - making mental health one of the most significant challenges employers and health systems are facing today.

Studies show that 1 out of 2 Americans will develop a mental illness during their lifetime, potentially affecting more than half of your employees. Unfortunately, many won't seek help until they're in crisis or don't realize they are battling a mental health issue - so they avoid seeking help altogether.

Have you considered what this means for you as their employer? This mental health crisis has a profound ripple effect, impacting not only the individual but also invisible hidden costs that you have to pay, such as increased healthcare utilization. This can make the workplace more dangerous, jeopardizing productivity, and hurting your company's bottom line - impacting employers like you and our community.

This session aims to help you better understand the challenges surrounding mental health in the workplace. We'll share how these challenges directly affect your organization - and how they negatively impact operational efficiency and financial performance. We'll also provide solutions to proactively tackle the mental health crisis one person at a time, resulting in improved employee well-being, reduced hidden costs, enhanced workplace safety, and higher productivity.
