The U.S. Surgeon General framework identifies workplace mental health and well-being as a critical priority for public health and highlights impacts of workplace stressors on the health of workers and their families, business profits and productivity, and our overall economy. Centered on workers’ voice, equity and human needs, the framework calls on organizations to incorporate mental health strategies and practices to better enable all workers to thrive and help foster more resilient, productive and successful organizations and communities.

Based on this Framework, LEO is working with Michigan employers, workers and professionals to implement strategies laid out in the surgeon general’s report and identify opportunities for better workplace environments. Our Workplace Mental Health Report outlines key strategies for employers to build supportive organizations by integrating mental health strategies that establish healthier workplaces, enhance employee wellbeing and promote resilient companies.
