Mental illness is a problem in your workforce. It can seem invisible, but 1 in 5 people experience a diagnosable mental illness each year. Imagine 1 in 5 of your workers coping with mental illness, and the cost to your business is staggering. This complete guide tells you everything you need to know to recognize and help when an employee is struggling.
WorkLife is built to respond to the real challenges people face. We’re here to connect your workers to the help they need right now.
Essential workers with limited resources and little to no safety net are being hit fastest and hardest by this crisis. WorkLife has 11 years’ experience supporting frontline employees through the most difficult times in their lives.
We are uniquely prepared to help you support your workers in this crisis. You’re not in this alone. WorkLife can help.
Here’s how we do it
We ask and we listen
We know the right questions to ask so we understand your employees’ challenges and what’s causing them. We’re trained to talk with people coping with hardship and we know how to help.
We give personalized, one-on-one support
We connect your employees to thousands of resources that address their immediate concerns and then we work together to create a plan that gets them back on track. We encourage their progress over time so they feel supported along the way.
We have to-the-minute resource expertise
Our Navigators are aggressively cultivating this rapidly changing resource landscape. We’re monitoring minute-to-minute changes in available funding and benefits, program closings, and quarantine requirements and seeking supportive services to fill the gaps.
