Employee mental health remains one of the biggest challenges facing employers. From continuing issues caused by returning to the office to navigating the complexities of today’s world, the stresses resulting from change and uncertainty can weigh heavily on employees at every job level.
Dr. Nicole Stelter, director of behavioral health at Blue Shield of California, recently appeared on ABC 7 in San Francisco and shared advice for employers hoping to promote employee engagement with mental health benefits: overcommunicate about available mental health programs, how to access them, and the strict confidentiality of such services.
Dr. Stelter and other experts found that constant reinforcement from leadership demonstrates the importance of mental health and helps employees get the most out of their existing benefits.
