Abstract

Dr. Jodi Frey offered a webinar to The Conference Board (https://www.conference-board.org/us/) to discuss the past, present, and future opportunities to improve workplace mental health through employee assistance and related programming. Taking a comprehensive approach to holistic workplace mental health services in the workplace, Dr. Frey provided attendees with actionable steps they can take as leaders of their workplace to improve and empower their EAP and to establish a more comprehensive approach to workplace mental health and well-being. Drawing from her prior research on EAPs and health and productivity, and including best practices related to mental health in the workplace, this presentation provides workplace leaders with a comprehensive view of what EAPs are and what potential they have to offer when viewed as a strategic partner to the workplace.
