Wellness First, Success Follows:
The Path of Workplace Mental Health
Read The Description
Poor mental health costs organizations billions of dollars a year. It’s estimated that globally, 12 billion working days are lost every year to depression and anxiety at a cost of $1 trillion annually in lost productivity.
The productivity that’s lost from mental health isn’t just from people who have a mental health issue that developed prior to working at an organization. Many people develop depression, anxiety, panic disorder, PTSD, and other mental health issues due to their experiences at work. Contributing factors include toxic work environments, stress of remote work, poor work-life balance, long hours, understaffing, a lack of support, and harassment.
Moving forward companies will need to focus on prioritizing mental health to attract and retain top talent.
In this keynote, Tess Brigham explores:
- How we got here and why younger generations are more willing to talk about mental health at work
- Why having a high emotional intelligence (EQ) is just as important as high IQ when it comes to promoting and retaining top talent
- The most important soft skills to develop among your leaders so they can improve productivity and overall job satisfaction within their teams
- Strategies to make accessing mental health resources available to employees simple, fun and engaging

Empathy:
The Hidden Superpower Behind Effective Leadership
Read The Description
Employees don’t always have mental health challenges before they enter the workplaces, sometimes those mental health challenges begin after they’ve had specific experiences within an organization.
The best way to solve a problem is prevention, which is why promoting leaders within your organization needs to start with emotional intelligence (EQ) over being competent to do the work. If leaders are going to foster a company culture that prioritizes psychological safety and mental health, creating a positive work environment, then they need to be people managers.
People managers are able to listen thoughtfully, gain trust, be empathetic, know when to push and when to pull back and how to inspire and motivate. The good news is, these skills can be taught to your organization’s leaders so they can better support their teams.
In this keynote, Tess Brigham inspires leaders to:
- Learn what it means to be a “people manager,” the true definition of empathy and how to integrate it into their role as a leader
- Gain a greater understanding of their employees’ biggest mental health challenges
- Learn valuable communication tools to help them navigate difficult, but important, conversations about mental health
