Resilience Workforce Solutions · Mental Health & Wellbeing Value

Mental health is a line item.

About one in five of your people is carrying a mental health challenge this year — and most of what it costs never lands on an attendance report. It shows up as people at their desks working at half capacity. Mental fitness ERGs and trained managers are two of the most direct ways to change that. Move the sliders to see what it's worth where you work.
