General Session 2 - Workforce Mental Health: The Key to Mitigating Risk and Driving Organizational Excellence 

Mental health in the workplace is not just a matter of individual well-being but also a critical driver of business performance. Failing to address workforce mental health increases risk exposure, and globally, poor mental health costs an estimated $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.  With workplaces holding the power to significantly influence the mental health of employees—and by extension, their families and the broader community—there is an unparalleled opportunity for leaders to drive positive change.

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.
