Mental Health In Your Workplace: From Evaluation To Action

Mental Health in Your Workplace was created to equip you with the tools to evaluate mental health resources, inform your processes for supporting mental health within your organization, and, ultimately, to help you to develop a strategy that demonstrates improved mental health within your unique workforce.

The SHRM Foundation analyzed key strategic questions, existing resources for HR professionals, and conducted interviews with diverse experts to understand the journey of a workplace leader when creating and implementing a mental health strategy.

Mental Health in Your Workplace aims to guide HR leaders in thinking through important questions from assessment and implementation, all the way to measurement and impact, through 6 key steps:

Define goals, roles, and players

Understand and plan for the needs of your organization

Assess and build on your existing resources
