In a roundtable lasting 45 minutes, Bradley Smith, CEO of HALEO, discussed the importance of connecting mental health benefits with Businessolver. The primary focus was to highlight the importance of mental health as a priority for both employees and employers, encouraging compassion and the need to find solutions. HALEO was introduced as one such solution.
During the discussion, attention was drawn to mental health statistics in the workplace. A notable statistic revealed that nearly 9 out of 10 employees consider a company with health programs in place to be a more empathic employer, highlighting the demand for initiatives addressing mental well-being. While mental health is very taboo, sleep is an accessible entrance into discussing the subject.
Bradley Smith specifically explained the connection between sleep and mental health. Addressing sleep issues reduces the risk of burnout, absenteeism, and disability leaves related to mental health. He also noted that clinically significant poor sleep can be treated rapidly and effectively.
