Mental Health & Awareness

According the SHRM, investing in workplace mental health and awareness increases retention, recruitment, and productivity, lowers absenteeism, disability leave, and medical costs, and reduces employee-related risks and potential liabilities.

The HR profession has always had a role in addressing mental health and wellness and in 2021, there is an unprecedented need for leadership and vision. SHRM Foundation embraces mental health and wellness as the future of work and understands this is just the beginning of a movement poised to shift the workplace paradigm around this most important issue.

SHRM Foundation is leading the charge toward transformational change by empowering business leadership and HR professionals to eliminate the stigma around employees’ mental health, invest in innovative wellness strategies, and create more supportive work environments through three key offerings:

• A platform for thought leadership supporting mental health and wellness in the workplace to accelerate a movement around removing the stigma of mental health from the workplace
• A portfolio of resources which includes innovative tools to create supportive and inclusive workplaces, including training modules, educational resources, HR ally certification, and more
• A first-of-its-kind summit around mental health and wellness in the workplace, specifically for CEOs, CHROs to interact with experts, exchange ideas, and start the paradigm shift

We have the motivation, experience, and solutions to help executives and HR leaders in organizations of all sizes address the mental health and wellness of our most treasured resources: Our people.
