Employee Workshop- Equipping Employers to Effectively Help Employees and Minimize Costly Legal Risk

According to the US DOL Office of Disability Employment Policy, nearly 1 in 5 employees — 20% — may suffer mental health illness each year. That stat poses major problems for retention, productivity, and legal risk when the battle for talent is at historic levels. Yet most managers and supervisors are ill-equipped to best help employees effectively address mental health issues while minimizing risk of costly legal claims.

In this panel discussion, you will learn:

• How to create a workplace culture of inclusivity and sensitivity that destigmatizes mental health struggles and creates a safe place to seek help in confidence,
• The benefits of a strong Employee Assistance Program and its measurable impact on employee health, retention, and productivity,
• The costly error in judgment of one employer resulting in a $450,000 jury verdict for a birthday party,and
• How to manage mental health issues to minimize risk of costly ADA and FMLA claims.
