“Resilience, compassion, innovation, and even stress-reduction are all skills. We aren’t born with them and they are not taught in school, yet we can’t do our best work or live our best lives without having these skills,” said Smolensky. “Every initiative an organization is focused on right now, whether it’s Diversity and Inclusion, resiliency, return-to-work safety, upskilling, innovation, or cyber preparedness hinges on employees utilizing these skills effectively. Mental well-being training is no longer a nice to have – it’s a business imperative.”
“We’re thrilled to host this important discussion for professionals across industries as a way to help employees and organizations emerge healthier, stronger and more resilient,” said Kim Bell, senior vice president, head of health and benefits at NFP. “As employers work to integrate well-being resources into all aspects of the employee experience, sharing insights and best practices help to inform decisions and enhance impact. We will keep driving conversations that emphasize the importance of mental well-being and support employers that want to go further with their well-being programs.”
