In this conversation with host Jamie Gassmann, SHRM Foundation Executive Director Wendi Safstrom observed that a failure to support employees’ mental health not only weighs on the employees themselves but also weighs heavily on an organization’s bottom line. With that factor in mind, Wendi outlined several new initiatives of the SHRM Foundation, including an in-person summit which included participants across the organizational structure, including CEOs. She discussed issues which have made mental health and wellness a top priority for the foundation, the research they are drawing on, the costs of an organization doing nothing, and much more.
