Topic: How to Prove ROI on Wellbeing and Benefits When Budgets Are Under Scrutiny

Organizations are investing in mental health support, yet many employees still don’t  fully understand what care is available to them or how to access it.

At the same time, workforce strain continues to rise. Spring Health’s latest benchmarking research found that 30% of employees are estimated to be experiencing silent burnout, 61% of HR leaders report rising mental health leaves, and 34% of employees say they are either not offered mental health benefits or are unsure what’s available to them.

This raises a new question for HR and benefits leaders: Can AI help close the gap between mental health investment and actual employee engagement?

Join us for a LIVE interactive panel discussion where you’ll learn why mental health benefits go underused and how HR leaders are working to close the gap between access and engagement. We’ll explore where traditional approaches fall short and how AI can be used to help simplify the path to care, guide employees to the right support, and improve utilization while maintaining trust.

• Kelsey Witmer, VP Total Rewards and People Operations at Spring Health

Discussion Points:

• The key barriers preventing employees from accessing support:: Examine the structural and behavioural challenges that influence whether employees engage with available care, from awareness and navigation to trust and stigma.

• How AI can reduce friction and improve access to care: Explore where AI can simplify the path to care, personalise support, and guide employees to the right resources at the right time while maintaining trust.

• How HR leaders can improve engagement while demonstrating measurable impact: Discuss how to balance personalisation, trust and data to increase utilisation of mental health support while linking outcomes to workforce performance and risk.
