As brain health becomes a critical determinant of the future of work, employers must assume a central role in shaping mental health initiatives. A healthy brain is essential for productivity, creativity, and overall well-being, making it a crucial factor in workplace success. This session will explore why brain health matters to employers, the role of the workplace in mental health, and the connections between mental health, neurological health and workplace performance. Additionally, we’ll examine how mental well-being influences worker skill-building, including problem-solving, adaptability, and continuous learning—key competencies for the future workforce. Investing in mental health not only improves employee well-being but also enhances their ability to develop new skills and remain resilient in an evolving job market. We’ll look at real-world practices’ companies are taking to improve employee mental health, as well as persistent gaps that stalls progress to healthy, sustainable, skill-forward work.
