Employer Role in Employee Mental Health and Wellness

Employers are a driving force in the healthcare system, with nearly half of Americans receiving their benefits through employer-sponsored health plans. One in five adults experiences a mental illness in any given year, and high rates of depression, which can lead to disability and unemployment, and are common in the workplace. The need to increase employee retention while decreasing presenteeism and absenteeism provides employers with incentive to support employee mental health and wellness. Incorporating a healthy workplace culture, accessible insurance benefits, and the mental health and wellness programs are fundamental to fostering a workplace supportive of mental health.

Nationally recognized psychiatrists Dr. Ken Duckworth, Chief Medical Officer at NAMI, and Dr. Don Fowls, managed care expert and healthcare consultant, have worked with leading employers and employer groups across the country. In this exciting panel discussion, Dr. Ken Duckworth and Dr. Don Fowls will discuss the role of employers in the healthcare landscape as well as the impact and opportunities for employers on employee mental health and wellness.
