2. Taking care of your workforce's
health and well-being is essential to
driving down expenses. From short-
term disability claims to absenteeism,
doctor visits to reduced productivity,
the direct and indirect cost of illness
and disability can be staggering. You
may have workplace wellness
programs in place to try to relieve
some of these costs. However,
chances are those programs only
address physical health.

4. Failure to promote mental wellness in the workplace, failure to identify and
intercede with struggling employees and failure to encourage early identification
and treatment all contribute to overall costs (employee absences, increased
disability, and lost production) for any company. Not to mention what it does to
employee confidence and overall morale.

5. REINFORCE & REWARD
The Mental Health Equality in the Workplace campaign works to
reinforce and reward workplaces who choose to put mental
wellness and equality first in their employment priorities. This
statewide campaign has a unique process each company
completes to first understand where they are currently in
making mental health equality a priority and second how they
can improve. The campaign offers one-on-one consultations,
workshops and education to companies involved to help them in
every way possible.

6. "The Mental Health Equality in the
Workplace Campaign of the Colorado
Mental Wellness Network is designed to
help workplaces ensure that employees feel
safe getting care whether it's for the "back
or the brain". This campaign is a win win
-- helping a company's bottom-line by
helping employees to get and stay well.
In the short time since it's launch, we've
signed up over a dozen companies -- one
with 1500 employees -- because companies
want to do better at normalizing mental
health care as part of whole health so that
their employees and their families get and
stay well.”
