The impact and value of mental health initiatives by industry sector

Our latest report gives you all the evidence you need to make the case for further investment in employee mental health.

“When people don’t have access to mental health services, their employer can expect to spend as much as 300% more on health care. It’s actually more expensive for companies to do nothing than it is to invest in good mental health.”
—Dr. Jenna Carl, VP of Clinical Development and Medical Affairs

Benefits leaders are acutely aware of this reality. But they face a daunting challenge: convincing leadership of the cost benefit of better employee mental health. Our new report makes that task much simpler.

Key insights:

  • Financial impact of improved mental health across three industries
  • Poor mental health cost burdens ranked by industry prevalence
  • Industry specific employer case studies
  • Pragmatic ways to generate cost benefits from mental health programs
