It wasn’t all that long ago that the idea of expanding workplace wellness to go beyond simple physical health, to include mental health, was considered a progressive move. Today, after weathering what we hope is the worst of the pandemic, our understanding of mental wellness and it’s impact on the workplace has never been clearer: the mental health of your workforce is just as important as their physical health, and in times like these, businesses need a healthy and resilient workforce to succeed. Today we are joined by Kathryn Mayer, Human Resource Executive’s benefits editor and chair of the Health & Benefits Leadership Conference. Here, she explains:

- How the pandemic exposed weaknesses in corporate mental health offerings;
- How what was once "too taboo" to discuss at work is now critical to moving forward;
- The importance of quick corporate response in light of the changing landscape; and
- What leaders can do today to improve mental health in the workplace!
