Despite an increased focus on mental health at work, most employees aren’t feeling better. According to Calm’s 2024 Voice of the Workplace Report, 69% of survey respondents said their mental health stayed the same or got worse in the past year. Because mental health is the foundation of your workforce’s ability to be engaged, productive, and creative, mental health support is no longer a “nice-to-have” benefit–it is critical to an organization’s ability to succeed. In this session, hear how the HR leaders at Duluth Public Schools are supporting mental well-being to manage stress and anxiety, reduce burnout and ultimately, enhance employee engagement and retention. 

You’ll learn:

  • The latest Calm research on the current state of workforce mental health
  • How Duluth Public Schools is addressing stress, burnout, and anxiety among its faculty and staff to enhance employee retention and engagement
  • How Duluth Public Schools offers preventive tools to address a gap in mental health benefits
