The Employer Action Exchange is a platform where cross-sector employers share human-capital insights and priorities in a trusted forum. This collective action to leverage employers as key public-health partners will add immediate value to the broader community by highlighting and equipping leaders with tangible strategies to support the well-being of their employees. Depression and anxiety disorders cost the global economy an estimated $1 trillion each year in lost productivity, and 81 percent of employees said that when they looked for their next job, they would seek workplaces that supported mental health. Could further investments in human capital or employee whole-person health mitigate costly risk and pave the way for a more engaged, productive workforce? This Employer Action Exchange will focus on sharing, learning, and forecasting what’s needed to act with impact, and how to optimize health for employees and organizations, while bringing public and whole-person health to the workplace.
