HR Works 71: Suicide Prevention—An Overlooked But Crucial Workplace Wellness Initiative

In Episode 71, we're diverging slightly off our typical subject matter, but with good reason. We want to discuss something even more important than strategic HR best practices or company profitability—we're going to talk about how HR can literally help save lives.

Our guest, Anna Mittag, Vice President of Operations at LifeSpeak, believes that the workplace is the ideal venue to address mental health issues and suicide prevention. She's going to tell you why, and, more importantly, what you can do to provide the tools and support to your workforce so that none of your employees add to the sobering statistics regarding suicide in the United States.
