Introducing the Lyra Workforce Mental Health Team

As the global workforce continues to undergo transformative shifts, today’s HR and employee benefits leaders find themselves on the front lines of a critical mission— addressing their organization’s most pressing mental health needs today while planning for what’s ahead.

The fact is, HR and benefits leaders are often expected to support all aspects of employee well-being, sometimes extending beyond their scope of expertise. Whether you’re a CHRO shaping a culture of health, a benefits leader identifying the right mix of mental health programs, or a frontline manager responding to your team’s immediate well-being needs, the challenges are undeniable and growing.

Lyra Health’s latest Workforce Mental Health Trends Report found that:

  • Over a third (36%) of benefits leaders reported a decline in employee mental health in the last year—up from 21% the previous year.
  • 29% of respondents said employees were taking more sick days due to mental health challenges.
  • 34% of respondents noted substance use as a rising issue affecting their workplace (up from 26% the year prior).

How do the best people leaders—at all levels of the organization—foster a mentally healthy culture amid these challenges? They partner with workforce mental health experts at Lyra.
