Prioritizing employee mental health has never been more important. Research published in The Lancet showed how the COVID-19 pandemic and its secondary impacts heightened mental health conditions for people worldwide, causing anxiety and depression disorders to increase by more than 25% in the first year. This increase in mental health challenges for employees can result in increased absenteeism and stress as well as reduced engagement, productivity, and negative impacts on overall health.

At a time when employees are seeking mental health and wellness support from their employer, and employers are facing a tight labor market and budget cuts, implementing a comprehensive mental health and mindfulness program can drive tangible value for both employers and their teams.
