The recent advisory from the U.S. Surgeon General on parental wellbeing provided a startling analysis of just how deep and widespread the mental health crisis is among working parents. 41% of respondents stated they are so stressed day-to-day they can barely function, and 48% say that most days their stress is completely overwhelming.
This advisory highlights important strategies that employers need to implement to support the mental wellbeing of working parents. Some of these strategies are:
1. Organizations need to make changes at the policy level
2. Workplaces should consider training that focuses on stress management and work-life harmony
3. Employers need to provide access to comprehensive and affordable high-quality mental health care
4. Employers should also look into performance coaching to support leaders who work in high-test, high-pressure roles
Within this webinar we will expand on these four strategies so you can integrate them into your wellbeing offerings to help reduce the daily pressures on parents, foster a more resilient workforce, and provide the support needed for everyone to thrive.
