03:00 PM | Virtual Town Hall
Join us on Wednesday, September 23 when Kent State University Director of Employee Wellness Kim Hauge will discuss how Kent State University capitalized on their Employee Assistance Program (EAP) relationship to build an award-winning, workplace-wellness strategy. She will also discuss her ‘head-on approach’ to reduce stigma around mental health, how to engage employees to improve self-help and self-care behaviors and how to adopt a well-being mantra of, “make yourself and your health a priority.”

- Why focus on mental health in the workplace, from the employer’s perspective.
- Identify turnkey and free mental health campaign tools for employers.
- Learn how to tap into existing vendors to build a sustainable and holistic program.
- Understand how sustained communication drives engagement.
- Learn how your EAP can be key to your strategy.
