Safety on the Inside – Building a Resilient Workplace
As the U.S. economy rebuilds out of COVID-19, business leaders need to prioritize employee mental health by fostering stigma-free a company environment, increasing access to tools/research, encouraging early treatment, and incorporating innovative behavioral health programs that help employees address their struggles in a meaningful way.

company—a 10-point increase from a March 2020 survey. Burnout and disengaged employees can cost
organizations between $450-$550 billion annually.
To address this issue across the workplace with a comprehensive, organizations need to comprehensively
support mental health in the workplace and focus on creating a culture of safety to not only keep people safer at
work, but also, beyond the workplace so they can live their fullest lives.
