“Not acknowledging that millions are dealing with mental health conditions is costing an enormous amount both in terms of dollars and cents and, more importantly, people's lives."
Arianna Huffington
Mental Health at Work Mini-Conference, May 2018
"I personally would like to thank Mind Share Partners for all of your support of this ERG and community from the very beginning when we were unsure, driven, and quite a bit scared on launching something that would make us so vulnerable. You provided resources and insight that gave us direction, hope, and reminded us that what we were creating would matter to our peers. To which, you were right. I'm thankful for Mind Share Partners, what you stand for and all that you're creating in this new area of diversity, inclusion, and belonging."
"After the Mind Share Partners conference, we created our own Mental Health Fund, since our health insurance excludes it, and talked about it so our team knew we had their back and they'd be covered for emergency care for suicidal thoughts, etc.
It's a start. Stigma runs deep. It's good that [Mind Share Partners] is helping workplaces talk about it!"

Amid an uncertain economy, the competition for top talent in the finance sector is fierce.
In recent years, new talent in banking and finance have been raising the alarms on long-standing culture norms—like unhealthily long work weeks and burnout. They are making it known that work-life balance is important to them, and are even willing to leave jobs due to the impact on their well-being.
Those in finance generally report having better access to mental health resources compared to other industries. So to attract and keep talent, it’s about moving beyond just benefits. It’s why leaders like Mastercard have a mental health champions program, and embed care and flexibility into their culture.
Even in high pressure, high-stress work environments there are proven, culture-focused strategies that can improve the employee experience.
When employee well-being is prioritized, employers can see payoffs in employee mental health, better retention, and stronger engagement.
