How HR can do more for employee health by helping people sooner

HR teams are being asked to do more for employee health at a time when they already have too much on their plate. From mental health and burnout to difficulties accessing primary and preventive care, employees often wait until issues become severe before getting help.     

In this practical session, hosted in partnership with Canadian HR Reporter, Mark Goad, General Manager at Alan Canada, will show you how to shift from a reactive approach to a proactive, lower-friction model of employee health support. He will look at where employees are getting stuck today, why so many benefits plans still step in too late, and what employers can do to help people get support earlier without creating more work for HR. You will leave with practical ideas for improving access to care, reducing friction for employees, and supporting people earlier before issues turn into burnout, leave, or bigger problems for your team.
