Mental Health, Addictive Behaviors & Coping During COVID-19: Intervention Opportunities for Employers

Learn best practice steps you can take to boost employee resilience, reduce turnover, and support both remote and in-person staff.

The COVID-19 pandemic has put a spotlight on employee mental health and wellness: rates of depression and anxiety are at their highest point in recent memory, and many employees are turning to addictive behaviors in an attempt to cope. The result has been costly, both from the perspective of the employer (lost productivity, expensive staff turnover), and for the employee (work-related stress, burnout). In the face of these challenges, employers have a high-leverage opportunity to implement practices and interventions to support employee health and wellness, with an even greater return on investment than in less stressful times. Join Dr. Aaron Weiner, board-certified psychologist and addiction expert, in an exploration of current employee mental health and addiction trends during COVID-19, and an overview of best practice steps employers can take to boost employee resilience, reduce turnover, and support both their remote and in-person staff.
